Calloused and bruised, dazed and confused
My Spirit is left wanting something more
Than my selfish hopes, and my selfish dreams
I'm lying with my face down on the floor
Crying out for more, crying out for more
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
Cause I can't think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe you my life
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
Every night, every day
I find that I have nothing I can say
So I stand here in silence, awaiting Your guidance
I'm wanting only Your voice to be heard
Let them be Your Words, let them be Your Words
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
Cause I can't think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe you my life
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
I just don't understand this life that I've been living
I just don't understand, I just don't understand
I just don't understand these lies I've been believing
I just don't understand, I just don't understand
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
Cause I can't think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe you my life
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
Cause I can't think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe you my life
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
I know that I owe you my life
Owe my life, owe my life
I know that I owe you my life
Owe my life, my life
