In that day, I was sure I was nobody,
No one.
When I saw what I do best could hurt someone,
My friends.
When the storm was blowing over, you cleared my eyes
To what I said in anger, that was not right.
In the years gone by when I closed my eyes,
I thought that I’d be right to think that I deserved to choose my terms,
But “deserve” has been a worthless word.
Well, I was sure to trust nobody,
No one,
But we give that up to love somebody,
Someone.
When this pride starts to move over, I see your eyes.
Everything I wanted fell below an interest passing by.
In the world behind this version of my mind,
I thought love was earned in strides.
It was not for any dream, or some place that I could be
That Jesus would rename all of me.
And he knows me better than anyone.
