My I's deceive me

My I's Decieve Me

I look inside and find those desires that I try to rebuke

Yielding to them I fold my hand and make a familiar loop

The plan for my life that I have chosen has left my spirit battered and broken

Like a river boat with no captain I loose myself time and time again

The only way to stop this Evil chain Is to stand on Faith and be Born Again

I can't count the times I have longed for a new start

A new place to go and ease my aching heart

I run from the life that caused me pain

but I unfortunately find my problems again

Over and over I sink to new depths

my situation grows worse with every breath

When a man gets disgusted and looks to his life

The memories he sees causes Despair and Strife

Don't let this pain burden your soul

and complicate the vision of your new goal

Stand up quick and be strong

and use the pain to see where you belong.
