Intention To Persuit

Running away, looking over my shoulder
a shadow is in persuit of me
it is closing in on me
in this craziness I'm praying for my sanity
all I ever wanted was peace and quiet
but even the silence is too loud
intention to persue a plan
Lord it is okay to recruit this weary man
I retired my old motivation
I need a new driver
intention to persuit no more luck on the run
so I am turning around, facing my fear
let it be known that I am not done
the shadow is diving at me as it grips me
I'm falling down, I'm smiling defiantly
no darkness you didn't get the better of me
a ray of light came rushing through in the nick of time
the shadow was diminished
the darkness was finished by the light
it is a relief to see the collateral didn't include me
