Lyrics
Inside Job
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.
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Make myself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
Just for today I am free
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
I know this one thing well
I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin
Breathing insecurity out and in
Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
Pursuing the greater way for all human light.
How I choose to feel
Is how I am
How I choose to feel
Is how I am
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
Holding on, the light of night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul
Again
Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again
Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today
Life comes from within your heart and desire
Life comes from within my heart and desire
Life comes from within your heart and desire
