Lyrics:
I always thought I was the one The one to be the one you want And everything is perfect like the movies I’m not afraid of letting go But don’t get too close take it slow Just look around I’m higher than the others
But what you want from me is not what I can give And I will give it all away I’ll say a prayer tonight And release this lie Cause all of me is all you want
The lights turn down The music fades I’m so exposed the games I play I can’t believe the rest of you aren’t standing Chorus
Lyrics by Fred Butson; Music by Sevenglory
Behind the Song: "Growing up I would go to church camp every year and gage my spiritual walk by comparing myself to others around me. As long as I was better than “him” or “her,” then I was doing okay. I think a lot of us do that, even now, but it’s completely off track. It’s not at all about reaching some spiritual level or achieving a certain amount of goodness. It’s about the condition of our heart and letting go of the lie that we have to be good enough for God." - Fred Butson (Sevenglory)
