Survival In Disguise

[00:01.50] I am a sinner
[00:04.19] Oh, my soul
[00:06.55] I turn a blind eye
[00:08.98] Oh my soul
[00:13.59] Oh my soul
[00:15.25] Does not the surface
[00:18.85] Fail to hold
[00:21.24] Is not the water
[00:23.64] Far too cold
[00:27.84] Cold for me
[00:32.88] Through all my doubting
[00:37.74] And all my longing
[00:42.71] A shallow instinct
[00:47.57] To do what serves me
[00:53.02] But still, I know that life is not
[00:57.42] Meant to be lived simply for me
[01:02.14] But what is serving others if
[01:06.76] Not just a means to feel "complete"
[01:11.47] Before we die, is finding love
[01:16.29] Just SURVIVAL IN DISGUISE
[01:20.68] I pray for others with fingers crossed
[01:25.92] That I may keep what I call "mine"
[01:32.82] "I'm a stranger, but you clothed me
[01:37.38] I was shaken and you held me
[01:41.28] Though you were to my left
[01:43.40] You gave to one with less
[01:46.00] And your actions were made "right"
[01:50.06] But take no pride in what you've done for me
[01:54.43] Because the heart seeks for self-serving means
[01:58.86] Confine one's darkest ego
[02:01.82] Learn to let go
[02:03.85] Embrace what it means to be free"
[02:08.15] We run into the shadows
[02:12.28] Where our shame no longer hides.
[02:16.27] But in the light, exposed
[02:18.87] Our character now compromised
[02:25.07] "So, when your joy comes from serving
[02:27.86] And not being served
[02:29.83] Giving to the far more deserving
[02:34.01] That's when I do my best work"
[02:43.15] I am a sinner
[02:45.64] Oh, my soul
[02:48.08] I turn a blind eye
[02:50.65] Oh my soul
[02:55.09] But still, I know that life is not
[02:59.32] Meant to be lived simply for me
[03:04.18] But what is serving others if
[03:08.63] Not just a means to feel "complete"
[03:13.28] Before we die, is finding love
[03:18.05] Just SURVIVAL IN DISGUISE
[03:22.43] I pray for others with fingers crossed
[03:27.07] That I may keep what I call "mine"
