Dark in the shadows I crept Lonely with the peril throwing me off my step I come to confess my sins Dark in the shadows I crept Lonely with the peril throwing me off my step. I come to confess my sins I wander, yet none the less I need you to know I'm not impressed I've never met you in flesh, but I can see you in the blessings that you've left Your son, just feel abandonment The sword of spirit left in my hand Left me ambidextrous, too ambitious to fly to the sun like Icarus Life's a story and we live in it I've got the gift to give so I'm giving it Everything I've got, no ribbon The present ain't pretty, no kidding Living out this life of sinning I thought I'd turn into a demon 'cause they're winning But what if that's only in the living? So I let the world go, so I let the world go Fruits of the spirit on my plate The roots are pulling on my faith, The liquor got me not feeling my face I stop and then I pray That's strange to me 'Cause I would only pray to you Only when I needed you and you would wait for me But this time I'm praying for some bigger things Amen Fight the battles with me like you did before again Amen This is not for misery or revenge Amen This is what's supposed to happen, my man
