Caedmon's Call - The Truth lyrics

I've been putting off, putting off Too many people And I'm getting all to it Like an injured man's, ailments unfilled prescription Like the nose on my face. Like a broken boat safety raft love for the water I just dan't decide to sink of swim it's me or them should I save myself? Go back for the others' Cuz there's maybe there's no gray and I was wrong to tell him so Then maybe all that I've to do was done a long time ago REFRAIN Because there was life before my life Was provision before there was need Was redemption for my sin for the sake of the world. I thank the LORD that the truth's not contingent on me. 'Cause I've been dressing up, dressing down too many people And I'm a little young to live Like a troubled boy, troubled soul Fish out of water 'Cause we're all just he same We're all just as good, just as bad, as just as distracted by the corners of our eyes As our father's were and theirs before and all those before them Still I glance around. And with the way I stare you think I'd seen through a 2 x 4 And with the way I walk you'd think I'd never seen grace before. Because there was life before my life Was provision before my need Was redemption for my sin for the sake of the world. I thank the LORD that the truth's not contingent on me. I've been putting up, putting down too many things I know nothing about Well I'm jealous of holding prize, tired as I can She was my only daughter. There was life before my life Was provision before my need Was redemption for my sin for the sake of the world. I thank the LORD that the truth's not contingent on me. 'Cause the truth's not continent on me.
