On the Outside Looking In

Verse 1: Why does every thought come to this Now it’s the innocence that I miss Change is all I ever see I can’t leave this up to me Chorus: We all wanna be On the outside looking in Doin everything we can To be the better man Verse 2: Always trying to take the power Climbin to the tallest tower But in the end it comes to nothing Why can’t I hold on to something Chorus: We all wanna be On the outside looking in Doin everything we can To be the better man Verse 3: Failures creating such anger inside The hatred of God has become far too wide The inner flesh is eating the best of me But thankfully God has woke me up to see Chorus: We all wanna be On the outside looking in Doin everything we can To be the better man Verse 4: Before everything’s too late I’m gonna let God decide my fate Even though I’m just a sinful man By the grace of God I’m a part of a greater plan Chorus: We all wanna be On the outside looking in Doin everything we can To be the better man
