Inheritance

How many breaths and moments wasted

While I sit here wasted on all the things

That stumble up my feet

Look how the wave it rises

Collapsing on the sand

It's crushing the castles

I've spend a lifetime

Building on my own

And when the moment passes

And the shadow is creeping by

I hold on to truth by a strand of the rope

That is anchored to my soul

I have I have an intercessor

I have an inheritance in you

You

When I'm treading in confusion

And the flame dwindles to a spark

And I run from these prisons

That are held in the corners

Of the rooms inside my heart

When every friend and partner

Has washed their hands in the dirt

And the loneliness chokes me

Provokes me

Until I remember the words he spoke

I have I have an intercessor

I have an inheritance in you

You

I'm clinging to this promise

Like a dancer to a song

I remember these days are as moments

And from death to life I've come
