Stand Strong

Fighting change is fighting progress holding me back even longer, 
Find myself going in circles like a hamster wheel in motion, 
I'm tired of the struggle, trapped in a cage 
Break me out of my selfish ways,

Change my focus and change my habits
Learn something new and transform like magic. 
Change my point of view 
Clean out my heart and make it new,
Direct my steps like a gps 
Help me to follow the path you have set.

I want to know you more, got to work hard with all I have, 
And do my best with no regrets stop living out of my past 
And fix what I can instead of questioning your plan.
 
It's my desire to change so help me change, 
So I can live the life you gave to me 
Worry free with you and your truth. 
Replace my errors with your love 
And clean out my heart 
I want a fresh start.

You are changing me
Forever changing me
From the inside out 
I need you to change me.

I'm searching for a newer me 
Not what I used to be 
Looking for something 
That changes my identity.

I'm trying to avoid it,
But change is a process that can't be avoided,
It's something that comes with making choices. 
Continuing in my old tracks is not the move
It’s choosing to lie rather than tell the truth.
 
I want to reflect you in the best way
But I can't if I run away.
You are the light that guides my steps 
You are the one who knows what's best.

Lead me by your light 
Cast out my fears like shadows in sunlight.
So many times I feel like just giving up 
I need guidance on how to strengthen my weak spots
And keep my head up.
 
I know you're always there through it all 
Ready to catch me when I fall. 
Like a support system you always have my back 
When I feel lost you get me back on track.
 
Stop fighting the thing that I so greatly need 
A process that can bring me peace.
I need to change, expose me to my new identity
Flip the switch in my heart so I can restart.

You are changing me
Forever changing me
From the inside out 
I need you to change me.

I'm searching for a newer me 
Not what I used to be 
Looking for something 
That changes my identity.
