Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I have seen this a million times
What's lost is eventually found
Trials and hard times turned upside down
Like a flower fertilized with a dump from a cow
And with this knowledge I have learned
That salvation can not be earned
And though many bridges I have burned
God is waiting for me to turn
God is still waiting his turn
He has called me so many times
Even more after I fail
Meeting me when I think I can't make it
To say that even he had to go through some pain
And with this knowledge I have learned
That salvation can not be earned
And though many bridges I have burned
God is waiting for me to turn
God is still waiting his turn
Why do I fight so much
Invisible giants this and such
Reaching for dreams that I'm scared to touch
While you never take your love away
God is waiting for me to turn
God is still waiting his turn
Why do I fight so much
Invisible giants this and such
Reaching for dreams that I'm scared to touch
While you never take your love away
God is waiting for me to turn
God is still waiting his turn
God is waiting for me to turn
God is still waiting his turn
