Priorities

Clearly speak your mind

Remember holding back what she might

Find out through the conversation

Saving me humiliation

Sadly speak the truth

Mention nothing of the people

I have used

I wont change but so what

If I amount to nothing but

 

A shaking ball of fright

So confused and so uptight

And I’ll hide all the more

When I’m naked and unsure

And I’ll redirect my energy

And send a word to God almighty

I need to change priorities

 

What an imbecile

Why can’t I value friendships

That are built

On trust and admiration

Instead of lies and speculation

But I can’t complain

However humble hopeful I’ll remain

That this life that I will live

Will bear the fruits of loving gifts

 

And daylight cannot hide

The things that bloodshed’s

Brought to sight

And I’ll hide all the more

When I’m naked and unsure

And the fear I’m facing my removal

Has brought me searching

For your approval

I need to change priorities

 

It’s partly my disease

That brings me down to my knees

I’m begging with you Father please

Don’t give up on me

 

Clearly speak your mind

Remember holding back what she might

Find out through the conversation

Saving me humiliation

Doesn’t mean a lot

It seems so unimportant I forgot

But when I promised you

I really meant to follow through

 

I left a friend before a vice

But before it happens twice

I think I’ll have to leave it all

And redefine habitual

And I’ll redirect my energy

And send a word to God almighty

I need to change priorities

 

It’s partly my disease

That brings me down to my knees

I’m begging with you Father please

Don’t give up on me


And I’ll redirect my energy

And send a word to God almighty

I need to change priorities

 

It’s partly my disease

That brings me down to my knees

I’m begging with you Father please

Don’t give up on me
