i am // You say



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
