I Belong To You

I was blinded by you, O empty life
Your sweet destruction filled me
At some point, I became my master of it all
I engulfed myself in your sugary poison 
Many illusions knocked spontaneously
I knew one thing “Life was only about me”
Peace, Happiness was for me to run after
Success and friends were mine to gather

After a long laugh, that seemed to never end
Brokenness, Emptiness popped in
Friends disappeared, as if the earth had swallowed thee
Possessions flied away into a wild eagle
Everything deserted, falling out of place

When every aspect of life seemed lost
All that was needed to open my eyes
A touch that lifted my soul again
A feeling of fullest built
Not that all the scattered pieces gathered
But a realization,” I don’t belong to myself”
I belong to thee, El Olam

As I lay myself down, heaven hear me now
Break all the boxes that I’ve tried to hide you
I’m always thirsty, I can be quenched
Only you can fill my life
Walking with You in every path I take
Is all I ever needed in life
Direct me, cause I belong to you
