I've seen a single teardrop turn to rain
I've watched a single raindrop writhe in pain
I battle the storms that sometimes drive me insane
Link by link, the Lord's breaking my chain...
A little bit smarter, a little bit stronger
Hold me, Lord, just a little bit longer
Help me up, for I will fall down
Release the evil spirits within this old ghost town
Clear the cobwebs that fog my mind
Show me the me that I'm trying to find
The me I used to be before the demon came calling
The me I'm meant to be after the rise of the falling
Am I a fallen angel who has lost his wings
A puppet of the world dancing by its lonely strings
I long to belong in an ethereal place
Grant me mental, spiritual, emotional Grace
I empty myself of this world to you
Hated, deflated...Father make me new
Won't you fix the things that are broken in me
I feel I'm getting close, but I'm not quite free
Your love is the shore when my days turn black
The tide is the world that keeps pulling me back
I'm drowning, dear Father, please throw me a rope
Offer me compassion...offer me hope...
The hope of a child, scared and lost
whose Father searches frantically at any cost
You've found me before, Lord, so many times
and I've testified your love in so many rhymes
and each time you've held me I've wiped my tears and I smiled
I might be a man, but I'm forever your child
I've been your child since the first time I cried out your name
when I was running through the tip of the demon's flame
When I was losing to the world at its suicidal game
you brought me back to life and I'll never be the same
Almost free...almost me...
almost the person God's helping me to be
