Guess I had to find out the hard way
The things I have come here to learn
The fire of this pleasure it can warm me
But in the end it only burns
He could put me high on a pedestal
He could rob me of my shame
He could hold me down under water, 'Til I
Could not remember my own name
Chorus
In my mind I see the house I'm building
In my hands the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail
In my time I've done some meanness
Brought the ones I love so much pain
Pride it was eating all my heart away
My soul was rusting in the rain
All these sins I am confessing
They still come knocking' at my door
But I know better that to answer, I tell them
That girl don't live here anymore
Chorus
Ev'ry living thing is calling out to me
The leaves on the trees wave me on
Got a wind to lift me when I'm falling
Got a road to put my feet upon
Chorus X 2
