i am dried up inside
i'm dirty and worn
You say I'm the true Water
flowing fresh every morn
i'm faded and tired
of life's endless strife
You say to me Come
let Me give you My life
i can't see the future
and what all lies up ahead
You say It doesn't matter
just trust Me instead
i worry about me
and my life here right now
you say Think of others
and of your heavenly crown
i don't feel at home here
i just don't fit in
You say That's alright since
true peace's from within
