Free From Strife

The night is leaving and the morning is coming to life...coming to life...
I wave goodbye to the dark and welcome a brighter day, free from strife...free from strife...
I regret, wasting my hours on watching my day go by...my day go by...
I'm upset, trying to make up the foolish things I've done...the foolish things I've done
 
Pre-ch: Watch me fall into the sky
Watch me stand tall all the way 
I'm fighting the urge to cry
I'm fighting to survive another day...
Hoping that today...
Will burn away yesterday

Ch: Afraid you'll see the other side of me 
That other side is shameful as can be
I want to be free from strife
Free from strife 
Hideous hatred masks my filthy face...disgrace made me run up a tree
I want to be free from strife
Free from strife 
I want this chaos from my mind
To flee from me or I'll remain blind 
I want to be free from strife
Free from strife
I want to be free from living a plastic life
Living a plastic life

Speaking words that have very little meaning...very little meaning...instead, they leave scars that won't heal at all...
Why are you so far away from my reach?
Listening to your speech drives me up and down the wall...up and down the wall...
Why don't you practice what you preach?

Pre ch
Ch

I have become incomplete, insecure and indecisive when I stopped trusting Him with all of my heart...with all of my heart...
Please guide me to the Land of Refuge and forgive my iniquities...forget my miseries...
I'm sorry for being that self-absorbed man that has rejected the way of Life...now, I notice that I'm all torn apart
I don't want to throw my problems in the back burner...I want to face my enemies...
I want to face my enemies...
Those enemies are the temptations that let me down
Those enemies won't beat me to the finish line...I'll wear that success crown

Pre-ch 
Ch 

The Lord's dawn is dawning upon me with its grin of a hope so exquisite...a hope so exquisite 
I wish I could express my gratitude instead of throwing my tantrums as I see fit...as I see fit...
Time wasted in the past means more lessons learned for the future
I have lived through life with some rather harsh conditions...but it doesn't mean they are without a cure
Chances are that everyone will be together in unity
Chances are that failure will turn into prosperity 

Pre-ch
Ch 

Let me swallow my pride...
Swallow my pride...
There is no where I can hide...
If only I were humble and wise, 
God would have opened my eyes
Opened my eyes
He would have set me free from strife
Free from strife
I want to change my heart for the greater good of my character
For the greater good of loving one another...much like a child with his mother
I am breaking down like the Walls of Jericho...can't you see? Hello?
I know I have been committing sins that are destructive to my soul
I am gathering the strength to stand up for the truth! Hear my echo...echo...
If I were truly free from this sinister strife,
Imagine living life with peace at hand?
I have been through so much in this life 
I know He understands where I stand 
Where I stand...I take His helping hand 
And I am led in his Promise Land
