CPD - The Life of Daniel Lyrics

And then friend if you're here this morning
And you've never experienced this great love of God
You can experience it today
God loves you, God wants to save you, He wants to wrap His arms around you
Life... it's a concept
Sometimes promises aren't kept
Sometimes you face regret
And sometimes you're just second best
Life... can't handle it
But then we try to manage it
Can't control the hand we get
But then we have to play with it
Life... is it a trap
A dead end, with no going back
On four sides they all attack
Leaving you to just run it back
Life... the air we breathe
Some say it's what sets us free
Some say the end will bring us peace
Well what does it all mean to me
Flow so cold, Lake Michigan
But everywhere they go they wanna get at him
And he wants to live like a citizen
So he's going to a dinner to sit it in
Pull up a chair to sit it in
And he knows that he's gonna get beat again
But his heart will never get beaten in
They beat at him, but he knows he wins
This is what he faces, and he faces from his family
A broken limb that's hanging, and it's at the end of the tree
At the end of his peace, connected so he isn't free
But he could never move on, because his work is not complete
He just wants to see a better place... Life
He's doing all he can to make a change
And he doesn't know if they'll ever change... Life
But he's willing for his life to take the pain
He just wants to see a better place... Life
He's doing all he can to make a change
And he doesn't know if they'll ever change... Life
But he's willing for his life to take the pain
Life is a journey, you could say that it's a highway
But it's not in my hands, so I don't do it my way
Life goes up and down, as if it thinks that it's a bell curve
And then you're leaning back, because on the road you had to swerve
Going back and forth, we're always going back and forth
Going off like fireworks burning on the fourth
Can't make up our minds as we're losing all this time
We want something real, but settle for the fakest price
We want it to be real, but don't put in the work
We want it to be valuable, exuding all its worth
The top brand, on the top stage, the mic hand, and a new wave
But oven work is how it's made, you can't get a microwave
Micro makes it small, and that is what you're left with
You wanted everything, and gave it all to chase it
You can't control the situation, I say that with exclamation
But you can make the best of it, just don't put in your resignation.
I know it took awhile, but I feel like I made it
My life has been a game, but I rolled the dice and I played it
Move my piece along the track, always forward never back
They come at me like they attack, but everyday I'm coming back
Some days I had a bad hand, but that's what I was dealt
I remember all the pain, on the journey that I felt
You can't stop my motivation, you can't silence inspiration
Never take a day off, everyday my dedication.
Life... No concept
Sometimes promises stay kept
Sometimes they hit reset
And sometimes you come out the best
Life... We handle it
And we try to manage it
But we can't control the hand we get
So we just have to play with it
Life... It's not a trap
No dead end, with no going back
On four sides they roll it back
You're never left where you were at
Life... the air we breathe
But this is not what sets us free
This is not what brings us peace
And this is what it means to me
Time is running out for me, and as the doctor explained to us
I was like a man in pond trying to swim ashore, and the way it's going now, I won't make it
Of course it's all up to God, now let's make that clear
It's all up to God, and trust in Him
Time is running out for me
Trust in Him
