Lyrics
Relent
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.
If I gained the world would it be worth the price?
To work these hands to death and not be satisfied
If every effort brought another sleepless night
I'd be so tired
I have strived enough to know that this divide
Could never be repaired through countless second tries
Still I stay the cost avoiding what is right
Now I'm so tired, I'm just so tired
I relent
There is nothing for me here
You can have it all my life is not my own
You give life
That is worth the loss of mine
I surrender all I have to follow you
I have traded cherished truth for worthless lies
Raging through the earth for treasure I couldn't find
Wallowed in the mud for nothing but my pride
And I'm so tired, I'm just so tired
I just want to live in peace
And I'm struggling to believe
Letting go will give me peace
Can I sit here at your feet?
Cause this is right where I belong
Yeah I can feel it in my soul
You say I'm right where I belong
And I know that I belong!
Yeah, I know that I belong!
I know that I belong!
I know that I belong!
