I CAN NOT ESCAPE MY DREAM (pt.1)

I once was touched by Hell,

But Satan was subdued

My Savior said to me,

“Son, choose what you will do”

I said “Lord make me wise”

He said “Yeah- what other things?”

Surprised, I told the truth…

“My God I will be King!”…………

-----------------------------------------

You say "you’re lucky just to be alive"

I know, but not to strive is to die

You say “be satisfied with what you have”

But how, when it’s just not enough?

You say "you can’t have everything..."

Yes I will, and more than that

You say "c',mon, that's impossible"

Not indwelled with whom it's for

You say "Greed became your god"

Despite Giving back more than I Get?

You say "These are only fantasies"

Be as it may, but you'd best not bet

# So why don’t you just keep running your race,

And not hold me down while I’m learning to fly?!

My body's too weak,

So the Spirit's too strong

I CAN NOT ESCAPE MY DREAM!!!

SO……..

What in this World can be 'good enough'?

What in this World is the job of my dreams?

What in this World is to be upper middle?

What in this World are unattainable heights?

What in this World is winning this fight?

What in this World is irrefutable proof?

What in this World is being all I can be?

What in this World is blessed beyond measure?

What in this World is this thing you call pleasure?

I’m impressed by NOTHING,

Because I’m the Heir to it ALL!!

I’M A WARRIOR, THAT’S ALL I KNOW

BUT I CAN NEITHER WIN NOR DIE

I’M STRONGER THAN HELL- BUT TO NO GAIN

WHY MUST INVINCIBLE JUST PERSEVERE?

THERE’S NOTHING GOOD, AND NOTHING BAD

THINGS SIMPLY ARE, NOT WHAT THEY SEEM

I CANNOT LOSE, LIKE I CAN’T WIN

THIS F--KIN’ WAR IS JUST TOO BIG

AND EVEN IF I VANQUISH DEATH,

THERE’S NO MORE PAIN, JUST PEACE ON EARTH

I STILL MAY NOT BE SATISFIED

CAUSE I KNOW HEAVEN, AND THIS AIN’T IT

I’M AMBITIOUS AND DRIVEN, BUT I CAN’T TAKE MUCH MORE

I’LL FIGHT FOR YOU GOD, BUT PLEASE NOT THIS WHOLE WAR

My body's too weak,

So the Spirit's too strong

I CAN NOT ESCAPE MY DREAM!!!.....................
