Covet

I heard early in life you deal with  the hand your delt
But it was unconcerned words from people
Who never felt or Never needed
I pleaded so many times to be seated among
The wealthy only to be greeted with a blank look for
Looking for help
You  can see it in my face  got me dreaming
Of leaving this place to obtain  a better life for mine
And aspire to provide for my wife and I  I've never been
Afraid to use my hands or get them dirty  infact I work
Just as hard as any other man  If I could get just one
Wish  my hope would be to get one chance to strike it rich
And switch my circumstance and advance myself to count my
Self as one of them  You know them  the ones who never
Have to pretend to be  who have money for everything
Who Never have any enemies
Who write checks then check out and
Never have to worry about anything
I wanna live like that
Because what they got is a lot more appealing than what I
Got  They got no care for me so I should take a little bit
Of what they got   why not
Fast forward past my formative years and it appears I'm
Stuck here  Looking back on wasted years and I got nothing
To look forward to  Unclear where to steer  where to go or
How to get far from here  Far away from the shed where I
Lay my head and often shed my tears  Deep down I long for
A place to belong  safe and calm  It seems I always went
The wrong way  now all my dreams are gone  No destination
Left for me  no destiny to manifest  Trying to catch butterflies
But I got a hole in my net  I want to escape and
Run away because every day I'm forced to fake it  If the
Opportunity showed it's ugly face then I would take it
And no one would expect it  guess I never had the heart to
Tell them I wanted a fresh start  cause I've been barely
Getting by for a long time  It's easier to leave and never
Have to see them bleed and I might sound like a coward but
Inside I feel powerless  They say the eyes are the windows
To your soul  if so then my windows are broken glass
Shattered pieces that's  where I hide and keep my secrets at
Before the world began and the fall of man
You unfolded the drama of salvation's plan
And though we violate we're cursed by the law
He sent his son to die and he absorbed it all
We covet we kill our throats are open graves
We lie and we steal but he still saves
It's happening now new hearts will burn
All creation yearns for the King's return
Before the world began and the fall of man
You unfolded the drama of salvation's plan
And though we violate we're cursed by the law
He sent his son to die and he absorbed it all
We covet we kill our throats are open graves
We lie and we steal but he still saves
It's happening now new hearts will burn
All creation yearns for the King's return
