Guess I had to find out the hard way The things I have come here to learn The fire of this pleasure it can warm me But in the end it only burns He could put me high on a pedestal He could rob me of my shame He could hold me down under water, 'Til I Could not remember my own name Chorus In my mind I see the house I'm building In my hands the hammer and the nail Gonna send my wishes up to glory Gonna shake that devil off my trail In my time I've done some meanness Brought the ones I love so much pain Pride it was eating all my heart away My soul was rusting in the rain All these sins I am confessing They still come knocking' at my door But I know better that to answer, I tell them That girl don't live here anymore Chorus Ev'ry living thing is calling out to me The leaves on the trees wave me on Got a wind to lift me when I'm falling Got a road to put my feet upon Chorus X 2
