I don't see why I don't see what bothers me And I don't know why I don't know what won't let me go I should have listened to myself when I had it down This dose of my own medicine is too big to swallow now This is the time when I find what's inside of me This is the time when I decide what I believe CHORUS: If I want to be real in this world The I have to realize If I am going to live by the sword I'm gonna have to die by the sword It's easy to be calm when there's no crashing tide It's easy to be quiet when it's loud outside It's easy to be humble when you're glorified But now I'm out here on my own and screaming from inside This is the time when I find what's inside of me This is the time when I decide what I believe CHORUS You stripped me down to basics You left my heart exposed There is no pride in times like this No one said it was easy No one said it was fair But nobody's happy when it is Lord, I need your loving arms to carry me When I look in the mirror and don't like what I see I know you know what I desire to do So help me follow even when it's not easy to CHORUS
