Who Do I Think I Am?

She said I was a shoe-in for the prize

She could see sadness in my eyes

Imagine my disgust and my surprise

When I learned where my fate lies

 

I'll thank God when I'm through complaining

My bones are weary and my body's weak

It was too warm and now it's raining

It's very telling that I'm yelling

Who the hell do I think I am?

 

From the path I began to stray

Destroying all the plans that we had made

With his life my ransom he had paid

I'm without the things for which I prayed

 

I'll thank God when I'm through complaining

My bones are weary and my body's weak

It was too warm and now it's raining

It's very telling that I'm yelling

Who the hell do I think I am?

 

My overwhelmed belief in chance

Is tantamount to arrogance

I don't want to wait 'til I believe it's real

I can feel humility is creeping up to smother me

I don't want to wait 'til I believe it's real

 

I'm certain I was getting on his nerves

Denying all the things that I deserve

I couldn't see the blessing I received

I just kept on praying for relief

 

I'll thank God when I'm through complaining

My bones are weary and my body's weak

It was too warm and now it's raining

It's very telling that I'm yelling

Who the hell do I think I am?

 

My overwhelmed belief in chance

Is tantamount to arrogance

I don't want to wait 'til I believe it's real

I can feel humility is creeping up to smother me

I don't want to wait 'til I believe it's real
