Drifter

If you're calling me a drifter
I'd say you're probably right
Just trying to get to where I'm going
Even if I don't know where it is
And if you're calling me a liar
Well, a liar is fine
I'm so sorry to have hurt you
I'll leave you alone
Cause I've been so stuck on myself
Can't seem to help anyone else
Tear me down again and build me back anew
Rid me of myself and fill me up with you
Take me to the place where I once knew
You were for me and not against me
And if you say I have no peace
I'd say you're probably right
Cause I can't seem to find it
You see I don't know what it is
My God, my God, my past haunts me
From the top of the morning to the bottom of the night
So sick, so sick of walking in darkness
Oh please shine your light
Tell me where to run and that's where I'll go
I want so bad for once just to finally know
That I'm not above and I'm not below
The place that you want me
I've burned so many bridges
I've run out of bridges to burn
I've failed so many times
I'm wondering if I'll ever learn
It's you I need, its you I want
It's you who can complete
This very world, this very life
That you've begun in me
Create in me a new heart and make it clean
A single-minded pursuit of everything
That you would desire from this offering
That you call my life
