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

CHORUS:
If I want to be real in this world

This is the time when I find what’s inside of me
This is the time when I decide what I believe
CHORUS

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
