Nothing, Save the Power They're Given

These words might mean nothing

But it's a chance I'm willing to take

Cause maybe I'm wrong and lives can change

I'm singing out of my insecurity

So someone

somewhere might be impacted by what I've made

I fidget and sway back and forth

Biting my nails down until they bleed

There is a lie that I've believed

I'd tell you

but I'm so scared of what you'd think

So I apologize if I've caused you to wake

Just close your eyes and let the beat rock you back to sleep

I'll tell you in the morning

About how this man you see

Often times feels like a child

Self-conscious and weak

I'll still put pen to paper

Try to explain these things

That invade my thoughts in my waking hours

Stories of Kings and princes that have lost their way

God

we'd give anything just to feel safe

Deep down

we all know our worth

We just need someone to truly love us first

So we tip toe around these crowded rooms

Hoping someone in attendance might be able to dress our wounds

We cry without uttering a single word

So gather close

circle round

Cause maybe you've just never heard

And I'll tell you the story of the Love I've found

About the Truth embedded in you long before your birth

I'll ask once more

What are these words worth?
