Abandon

This track I trudge along
The path seems not to change
Twenty years and a day forward
Am I still the same?

I thirst for a difference
I can't stand to stay
A minute more's too long
Take me, take me away

I'm abandoning all, reaching for You
Leaving behind what I once thought was true
This shell that I'm in, once bound down
Has been shattered and nailed
And I am new

I thought my past
Was all that I had
I held on for so long
How could I've not known
That my future was waiting
Have I been so blind?

I thirst for a difference
I can't stand to stay
A minute more's too long
Take me, take me away

I'm abandoning all, reaching for You
Leaving behind what I once thought was true
This shell that I'm in, once bound down
Has been shattered and nailed
And I am new

This life is no longer mine
This body no longer bound
I've chosen to leave it all
Abandoned to You

I'm abandoning all, reaching for You
Leaving behind what I once thought was true
This shell that I'm in, once bound down
Has been shattered and nailed
And I am new.
