Sights and sounds distract me from my purpose in this sad charade
So I beat the ground with leaps and bounds
If they can found then I’ll find a way, to be free evermore, but still can be sure if I found what I’m looking for

But all I found was misery, it stole the ground from under me, now I always stand out, in a crowd of, love and victory
I was nothing, til you rescued me
I was nothing nothing nothing, til you rescued me

Tightly bound in a worldly fetters six feet down as I waste away
The preacher told me to pray, but I turned away, in beauty and pleasure I stored up my treasure, all the riches a man never needs,
But the rich are still poor, and the wise still unsure, and I don’t know what I’m looking for

If I came like a beggar, you stood like a king,
And my black heart would tremble, and heaven would sing
You saved me, yes you saved, yes you saved me from my misery
You saved me, yes you saved, you’re erasing all my history
