Oh, to face this wreck that I've become
What am I running from in my mind?
And oh, these are the monsters I create
Can I eliminate them all in time?
Sometimes I get caught up in the way everything used to be
When I was a kid everything so much more alive and free
And then I think about the times I had before I could see
All of the evil in the world like you see on TV
But then realize that this is the way the world has always been
And it is only the result of people living in sin
People dying, people crying, daily again and again
And this is the way that it will be until the day we reach the end
I gotta figure out a way to get this weight off my chest
And my pride is telling me that if some day I do my best
My words will reach a billion ears and God'll handle the rest
But how do I reach a billion ears while I'm living in stress
And if I reach a billion ears, man, what if I screw up
And if it takes a million years, how do I keep this act up
And I guess I'll face a million fears while I'm trying to keep up
So if it takes a million, I'll face a million, I'll keep looking up
Oh, to face this wreck that I've become
What am I running from in my mind?
And oh, these are the monsters I create
Can I eliminate them all in time?
And then we go back to the struggles I've created myself
Just like a dog back to his vomit he just can't help himself
Why can't I put these worries away, put 'em up on a shelf
And give the hard part back to God as if I didn't need his help
The more I look back on this life I realize he's been there
Even though at the time when I looked, I couldn't find him anywhere
He's always there, He always care, He quiets the storm when you're scared
And even when you're not prepared, your skin is bare, and your air is scarce
But what about the people I was worried about
The ones who wouldn't hear my words if I didn't reach out
I'm going crazy thinking of the ones who may not be found
If I am quiet, they'll be lost if they never hear the sound
Again I realize that I am not the one in control
And if my post gets the most from coast to coast, my pride'll take its toll
So I should recognize the fact that I will never grow old
And I can't boast, I am not supposed to do the most to save a soul
Oh, to face this wreck that I've become
What am I running from in my mind?
And oh, these are the monsters I create
Can I eliminate them all in time?
I may not know my path in life
Maybe its just where I've been all along
And I will slay these monsters in my mind
And maybe I will find that I'm that strong
That's what you get when you let it all go
That's what you get when you finally grow
You'll never grow weary and you'll never get old
You'll never be stronger till you give up control
That's what you get when you let it all go
That's what you get when you finally grow
You'll never grow weary and you'll never get old
You'll never be stronger till you give up control
Oh, to face this wreck that I've become
What am I running from in my mind?
And oh, these are the monsters I create
Can I eliminate them all in time?
I may not know my path in life
Maybe its just where I've been all along
And I will slay these monsters in my mind
And maybe I will find that I'm that strong
