Past failures haunt me with the vengeance of a ghost
My troubles aren't so bad but they are worst than most
If you could live in my shoes for one short brief day
You might just change your mind and listen to what I say
We all do our best to justify and ignore
The pain of others is just too much of a chore
Don't go and put off and delay what should be done
There is simply no excuse to always try and run

Fanning the flames of earthly desire
Most are blind to the fact our situation is dire
Fanning the flames of earthly desire
It is probably far too late to extinguish this fire

If God is love and our salvation is a test
Well I studied hard but I doubt that for the rest
Life is a rhythm a notes that don't quite play in key
Until you see the plan then perfect harmony
