Save Me

I don’t know why I appear so insecure
I don’t desire the life I live, a life so browbeaten
I just crave to be the one who knows that one reason
Save me from my sins, oh lord, hoard me from all that dwells within
Channel all knowledge I receive herein
Protect me from the wrong decisions and heal me of my abrasions
Why give me a globe of lies, a world of delusions
I just want to step aside from all mistrusions
Help me, my savior, purge my endeavors
Aid my indecisions and heal me from my senses
I don’t want to live a world of deceit
I don’t want to be a part of the deception
I just want to be an element of your concoction

I need your guiding light to form my path
A course that leads my straight to your heart
I’m worn-out of being one whole world apart
I don’t want to desire anymore
I don’t wish to be what I had been before
Take my life for the greater good; just show me to your door
I don’t think I can live like this anymore
My lord, I plead thine
I pray the power, the divine
Take away all that is mine
Just create a path to reach your shrine
I pledge I don’t want this life no more
I don’t want to be what I have been before
