State of Mind

I stand tall with an arrogant grin

Filled with pride as

I chase the dreams that are riding on the wind

In ignorant determination watch me pursue

But I'm not and they're not enough to

satisfy the hunger pains of my soul

They are like fading mirages,

illusions that leave me sold

to the truth

That's the essence of me

. . . I'm not enough

Chorus

So here I am

Broken on my knees stretching out my weary hands

Grasp them and lift me

Help me to find a rest in your arms

that can change my state of mind

I stagger the earth with one defeated sigh

I once was longing to live

now I'm longing to die

Having attained everything that I desired

was not enough

Not enough to quench the thirst for life,

for hope for peace

Captive to my pride

now I beg for sweet release

And then a voice breathes in whispers to my soul

"I am enough, I am enough"

Chorus

Set my awkward steps straight in line

Move me to walk this life

with your hand in mine

Chorus
