All these people in all these places
Shove my God into my face.
I can see the light fading away
As my spirit starts to fade.
I have tried so hard
To be the man that I should be,
But instead I run away.
Why don't you break me down
From the inside
And heal this pain that I have made.
If you would take this shame,
Make me clean again,
I know that I will rise again.
I let my pride lead the way
To show the world what I have made.
I pushed you aside even when you tried
To give me everything that I could ever need.
I can't do this on my own any more.
I give it to you to make me whole,
All this pain and suffering,
But he would never run away.
Why don't you break me down
From the inside
And heal this pain that I have made.
If you would take this shame,
Make me clean again,
I know that I will rise again.
Open wide my eyes, so I can see you,
And show me that you are always there.
If you would break my pride
For it was you who died
And show me how to love again.
