i try and try again
left wond'rin what here is my sin?
am i placing too much into the hands of others
turn to myself and look inside
for the answers that my soul hides
reach for something to possibly explain
and i find that i'm here and i'm asking myself again
what are expectations
and why do i maintain them
when no one has yet met them
and do i expect too much?
but what is unrealistic
about wanting what i see
in everyone else who's around me
or do i dream too much?
now i'm asking why again
running a race i'll never win
find a new approach, seek answers from another
turn to my friend and search their eyes
for the answers that their soul hides
reach for something to possibly explain
and i find that i'm here and i'm asking myself again
can i find the answers
is someone there who knows them
some one who will show them
to help my eyes to see?
and what is so demanding
about wanting to be normal
and trying to be accepted
while still remaining me?
i begin to cry again
about ready to give in
remember i can still inquire from one other
Lord Jesus you alone are wise
for the truth in love you never hide
find my answers
and i'll no longer have to ask myself again
what are expectations
and why do i maintain them
when no one has yet met them
and do i expect too much?
when you have bled and died for me
i thank you Lord for letting me see
that you are all that's good for me
eternal and unchanging
