CLOSE ENOUGH TO BEING FARAWAY
Close but yet so distant, distant yet so far Near but I'm away, trying to get to the cross I was found but now I'm lost Broke but now I have to pay the cost Shot but I have no holes Nothing is wrong with my clothes
Stupid yet I'm smart
Contentious about who holds my heart
Or that dart, that they through right between my eyes
Those covers can't cover up your lies
So close to the truth, but so far away from reality
Not wanting to acknowledge that this even happened to me
So when I take one step forward its like taken 2 steps back
And it took me so long to finally except that
A mind full of wisdom, yet I know nothing at all
Not so observant to myself, but trust me I observe you all
I always have an encouraging word to say
And be so careful before I begin to speak to pray
Lifting people up as they're pulling me down
I was on a higher level, but now I'm on the ground
And when it's time to pick me up are those same people around?
I have to put out APB's and still they are nowhere to be found
So I'm close enough to knowing God's commandments,
But so far away from letting him handle it
Many of you are out there and maybe scared to say
But I'm close enough to being far away
