Fear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a prisoner of my own invention
Half empty glasses scattered in my head
All the million sparks of good intention
I watch them all just flicker out instead
Darkness is all that’s left, where's Your light?
I can't find the faith
And I’m feeling so afraid
And I don't want to be
Stuck a captive in this cage
I need to break out
I've tried all I can do
Only You can bend these bars
I want to fly away with, You
I'm a victim of my own defenses
The feel of flight turns fiction in my head
Darkness is all around, where's Your light?
I can't find the faith
And I'm feeling so afraid
But I don't want to be
Stuck a captive in this cage
I need to break out
I’ve tried all I can do
Only You can bend these bars
I want to fly away with, You
I can see a light ahead and it’s bright
Reaching out to take my hand
To go flying, we're flying on and on
Take it in
I’m so alive
We're flying, we're flying on and on
