Whole Again


I've want to leave this place
but tonight
tonight I consider goodbye
because this town I grew up in
these streets that I know
they are paved with my failures
and the seeds that I've sewn
I know
I wont get another try to make things right

all my life I've searched for something to make me whole again
the perfect words of your grace
the majesty of your face

I've driven this road many times before
but tonight
tonight is the first I know inside
that the towns I've not been to
the streets I don't know
hold my hopes and my somedays
as my story unfolds
I know
I've lost so much to live this life
but I'll be alright

all my life I've searched for something to make me whole again
the perfect words of your grace
the majesty of your face
and now in my life I have that something to make me whole again
I've been through it all to find you're with me in the end

I still go back to the day and I think about
how you came in my life and saved me from myself

I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for all our years
and it's clear
I could have died without you
you loved me when I couldn't love myself

you're the one that can't be replaced
but the deceiver tells me that some wrongs just can't be erased
it's been brighter since the dawn
one last look back, I'm moving on
I finally see the light, it won't be long
this sinful flesh gone.
