see how I've strayed?
I never knew that being friends
could make me be this way
You influence me
to be someone that I'm not
I hate being a stranger
and it seems that I'm caught
in between who I am
and who I want to be
but never do you stop
even when you can see
that the words you say
and the things you do
enter my precious ears
and make me act like a fool
I want to be your friend
but it's hard to pick and choose
because if I pick your way
I know I will fail and lose
This world is full of hate
and you're a contributor
to the violence and impurity
and a hazard to the cure
Step up and stand for yourself
listen to me when I speak
There is no way you are truly living
unless you take a leap
off this burning bridge you stand on
and onto a rock of salvation
one that will not fall out from underneath
and deceive you like this nation
heroes are just living idols
that perceive our mind
but Jesus Christ, my savior
is one of a kind.
Why would you turn away from Him,
and lead a life of lust,
when our Savior forgave our sins
by suffering on a cross for us?
Look where you are
and then look where you can be
why settle for something less
when you could hold they key?
