So blinded by my own desire   I blew out our loves first fire   A part of my life has been wasted   By choosing to live recklessly      How did it come to this!?   But still your arms are wide open for me      You know I feel dirty    but you've filled your heart with my needs    My life is so broken    But you long to put me back together       How did it come to this!?    I can't stand living without you near       Better is one day in your courts   Than a thousand elsewhere      I cry out for help 'cos    I lack the strength, purpose to live    From all of the choices I'll take the only one    That can change me deep within      How did it come to this!?   only you can help me, you alone          I was enslaved by my heart   Then you broke the chains, and freed me from all my pride   And now I'd rather live at your door   Than starve in the rotten wealth of this EARTH
