when within my thorns and thistles suddenly I come to life
remembers me a time of breathing, deep within my earthly strive
sorrows clutch me, fears come close, that I can't understand
l've not been an evil man yet what I finally comprehend
is that my life had moments that deeply pull me in
sometimes into clear blue waters, sometimes into dirty sin
my oldest wish that I could find some noble truth in me
hopes that do not die like insects, but lions' faces be
someone helps me bravely loving, puts on little me a crown
sends me through the deepest waters, knows that I won't drown
breaking through my marred skies another sky so bright
to make me understand in trembles that i must love the light
even when the evil things of death in life and hate
knock at my door and want from me to turn into a shade
this is a must eternally which will never wane
which I must grasp with all my heart or become insane
breaking through my silence a hand of love and might
that turns me from my wicked ways to put me on the right
to drive away into the fire of my soul its lies
which kept inviting evil in while all goodness cries
to burn away my sleepiness, my apathy and stupid fright
of goodness that's beyond my grasp, for in the truth it's light
makes free my self and in this light I love the God who came
to throw me in the sea of life not in the pool of shame
gave words into my thirsty throat and even some good thought
I know within these simple pains a better life is wrought
my God He is a mystery but I know He wants belief
that within love and faith I finally stay to breathe
that I get healed from what is good to really understand
that for this change my saviour came and to a cross of hurting went
I now must go and leave behind a life that had to end
which deep inside I could not see and thought it was a friend
an evil of the stupid kind that I should have really seen
it shew a willful devil's face and mine mixed inbetween
but Jesus will not let me go, He's greater than I think
and He'll make sure there's always water from which I can drink
and some day all this painful loving will pay off with life
that passes all my unrest ending every strive
now I can dream of better days for they will arrive
for Jesus came to give me loving and eternal life
remembers me a time of breathing, deep within my earthly strive
sorrows clutch me, fears come close, that I can't understand
l've not been an evil man yet what I finally comprehend
