All I want is someone to hear my voice
Out of everything else I could go this would be my choice
With a crowd I want to laugh, cry, love, and rejoice
I don’t care if I ever own a big house or drive a Rolls Royce
What I want is to touch people’s hearts
What I want is my words to tear stronghold apart
I don’t want to be on TMZ or be #1 on the charts
What I crave the most is to move people’s souls with my art
I know sometimes it can become more of a habit than a dream
So God forgive me if I ever put out some beautifully written self-fulfilling blasphemy
Turn me away from my pride so that my words will set people free
And with your power I can truly be me
Open the eyes of my ever-changing heart so that I can see
What ails listeners’ souls and how I can show them what they would really be
And how we can turn up the heat without turning off the AC
In God you can be who you are
So I invite you to tear off your self-righteous masks and shine like the brightest of stars
If you want to travel, let your legs take you far
If you know about engines, go work on cars
Remember that these gifts are from God, and he will bless you whether you teach kids, play sports, or play the guitar
God has given you gifts for a reason
Use them for a purpose all of the time instead of just for a season
To do anything less with these gifts would be something between selfishness and treason
Do not conform to this world’s sick design
Always pushing things that will lead to you being bordered with a chalk outline
To conform can be equated to playing Frisbee with a land mine
After you’re done playing you ain’t gonna feel too fine
Standing in front of the full wrath of the Lord, after you flatline
Dear God bring my generation back
Fulfill our needs and restore us of all the things we lack
Like moms and dads to keep us on track
And a little more intelligence to know not to waste cash on alcohol and crack
Find your identity in the arms of God
Don’t look for it in these petty lusts and frauds
Or in pretty girls, big houses or hot rods
Drop it all, the whole thing’s just a façade
To take your eyes off the one true God
