A Heart So Sick


My chance to change something is a tall order 

It's not the normal aspiration for change

Not to bring world peace or fight world hunger

Though these are noble causes 

But they've all been said before 

If I could change something about anything I would change myself it would be my heart

If only you could see how sick it is 

Those on the outside would say I'm being too hard on myself and that I am a good person 

But I desire honesty 

How shocked we all would be if we could see eachother's thougths and intentions 

If only we could see how little strength we really possess 

The fascade must come down 

My heart will be changed

For I am promised restoration
