Mixed With Tears

[Verse 1] This is my life Perfect my design Real life is shown From a master's hand [Chorus] This is my life This is my life Perfect by design Made like a song From a master's hand [Bridge] Looking back, what is God to me? I see outside myself The past becomes clear The past becomes clear [Verse 2] My life Seeking after what I know is out there I have Chained myself to what I see Desperation Moving into my step Never could know what it would take I go See as clear as I did I set out To find a means to this end [Chorus] This is my life Perfect by design Made like a song From a master's hand [Bridge 2] Looking back, what is God to me? I see outside myself The past becomes clear Looking back, you have brought me here I see inside myself You are in here You are in here [Outro] Shed blood mixes with dirt and tears Candlelight dims the shadowy years Will this be my end? To squeeze this wound Will this be my end? To be consumed By the things that I thought to be good in the end The desires that I've always tried to defend Will I be taken out as a life half-lived When I've given only part of what I could give This life drops down to seal this fate And now it's only the ground that waits To be fulfilled in this empty hole To be fulfilled with one more soul But what will the memory say? A life lived well? Will there really be a story to tell? No more chances, no more years When shed blood mixes with dirt and tears Copyright: Advocate Music
