[Verse 1]
Time ain't really been the same since that one day
I lost it all and found myself struggling to pray
And I can't lie, I've had a ton of doubts in my head
It seems that I can only be happy
When I'm sleeping in my bed
In my dreams, I feel at peace
Kings and queens are in my genes
But I can't help but feel like — like a peasant
Just scavenging for crumbs, it's so unpleasant
I'm marked, I'm a martyr
Dying for something that I don't believe in
And life's just getting harder
Some days I don't even know the reason for anything
[Verse 2]
I just want some peace of mind for myself
No you can't help, no you can't help me now
No you can't help, no use in hurting you
That's all I want, that's all I want
That's all I want, that's all I want
I just want yellow, birds sing out my window
Love is free and the rent low
I just wanna get my ends though
That's all I want, want
That's all I want, want
That's all I want, Christmas in the summertime
That's all I want, I hope that we know we'll be alright, yeah yeah
[Bridge]
Can't you see all of the colors?
Shining down, shining down
All for you, ooh ooh ooh ooh
All that you ever knew, beautiful, yeah yeah
[Verse 3]
I know that I'm forgiven, and He went on a mission
To save me from my sins, make me a better man
I can't forgive myself, I've done too many wrongs
Been suffering too long, got scars all on my arms
Like, I don't feel a thing, the thoughts lodged in my brain
I'm passive now, I'm weeping acid rain, my life is crashing down
The lighthouse grows more distant with each passing wave
I pass my prayers, wait for lifeboats to come but I drown
Just a bit more in the sun, morning to come
Stretch 'fore I run, I had my fun, look like I'm done
I'm not the one, why was I chose? Why do I hope?
I wanna know if I'm on my own, yeah
There's nothing I could do to get me too far from the cross
I'm walking with God, and I'm walking my own path, too
I wanna be brand new but I keep slipping up
Mistakes I made just have me giving up
Look, all I know is that I'm Christian
I'll be okay if I just live in Him
[Outro]
I'm not alone on my journey
I got my friends, I got my brothers
I got my family, I got my angels
And I got You, Lord
Amen
