I've been looking around, and I see the possibilities
that this world had and threw away.
There has to be something I can do to help,
but this 'me' can't save the day...
Everything I do no matter what I'm trying for
seems to fall apart at my feet.
What can I do? I'm tired of being poor...
Lord please come and save me!!!
Who am I, and what did I do with my other self?
This one's a lie, but I can't put it on the shelf!
I won't deny how I have condemned myself...
Who am I? Lord please save me from myself!
I go through it over and over...hurting and being hurt.
Will it stop as I get older, or will I just never learn?
How can I say that someone belongs down there?
No...I try to help them because I care...
Who am I, and what did I do with my other self?
This one's a lie, but I can't put it on the shelf!
I won't deny how I have condemned myself...
Who am I? Lord please save me from myself!
What do I do now? Where does it go from here?
Can I change it, or must I live in fear?
I'm afraid to die, and not make it to be with you.
An eye for an eye, maybe I am blind too!
I am too blind to see just where things go from here,
and that for me you shed those bloody tears.
Can no one save me from this life? I don't want it anymore.
I know you are right, so I'm opening up the door...
Who am I, and what did I do with my other self?
This one's a lie, but I can't put it on the shelf!
I won't deny how I have condemned myself...
Who am I? Lord please save me from myself!
