The Way

I'm caught in a new trend, it's in the air
I'm caught in a new trend but I know you're somewhere
Looking at me and what I've turned out to be
Thinking if I'd just look around I'd see
Maybe I need some new friends and I'd turn for good
If I just had the right friends then maybe I could
Find some peace and no one could see
Underneath I'm just torn and empty
What I need is for someone to take my place
I've grown tired of falling on my face
But Who really cares about this mess I've made
Let Him be the way
To get me a new life and start again
*Cuz*If I just had a new life I'd put to an end
This feeling of guilt if I could be still
And know He's Lord and I'm in His will
If I was just in the right place from time to time
If I had just done the right thing and stayed in line
Then in between the songs we sing
I'd have no memories that haunt me
*So I sing of a Savior* to take my place
I've grown tired of falling on my face
But Who really cares about this mess I've made
Let Him be the way
To all that I want to do
And I'm not letting go of His truth
No matter what the mess He'll see me through
Let Him be the way
And If I could stop just what I'm doing For one second listen to Him
Maybe I'd stop seeking my solutions in new friends and new trends and I could see that what I need is someone to take my place
what I need is for someone to take my place I've grown tired of fallin on my face but who really cares about this mess I've made
let Him be the way to all that I wanna do and im not letting go of His truth cuz no matter what the mess He'll see me through
let Him be the way
let Him be the way
