Life Nowadays


If life is a gift God be an Indian giver and take me back to you Back to my comfort place Because when I close my eyes I'm there with you I don't need to go to church to hear your word You can say it to my face You can look me in my eyes that you created and answer my questions What's the purpose of my life? Why now? Why this generation ? Where I'm just the forbidden fruit to feed his ego and his appetite Where commit doesn't get him full And he needs more than one prey I prayed I would wake up from this horrible dream But I woke up to an empty space in my bed Just the ugly truth left on my sheets All he wanted was a piece of flesh He's an animal, a cannibal And I'm a dead soul Lord Resurrect me Bring me back to life, give me my name back Everything he stole from me he can keep that All I want is me back The person I knew is no good, full of sin Lost in time trying to fit in A generation I don't belong in Restore the broken promises I made to myself Allow me to repent Blame it on the Devil who taught me how to satisfy my needs When you were the only one I needed They say love is blind so I'm sorry I lost my sight of you I know I'm your child and you love me but love hurts I come to you as I am With all my imperfections, my baggage, an ugly past and Scars to show how I fell I come to you with open arms so you can receive me Wash always my sins, arise my broken spirits Bring me back earth where I can live another day with out regret and shame Lord please just give me a name and a voice so I can testify The day I got saved
