Trav Da Poet - Issues of Life, Vol. 1

Sound Mind (feat. Katie Burke)

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart
Lord You know I wanna do Your will
Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart
And the peace to stand still
Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart
Lord You know I wanna do Your will
Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart
And the peace to stand still

So many thoughts race through my brain trying to gain
The advantage & cross the finish line to reign
Over my essence in this physical plane
Driving me insane - straight jackets, latches, feeling deranged
Lust got me burning to slay women in my bed
Pornographic fantasies, fornicating in my head
My adulteries breaking happy homes in divorces
Death of love in my heart after it ran its courses
Competing with anger, analyzing strangers
To see who's a mark to receive this vicious danger
Unforgiven grudges pent up since a child
Combined with slights & injustice, ready to go wild
But at times I'm despondent, I'm not responding
I see the case built against me, I'm absconding
Retreating to my cave stuck in silence it's haunting
Asking for favor to clear my mind, the task is daunting

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart
Lord You know I wanna do Your will
Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart
And the peace to stand still
Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart
Lord You know I wanna do Your will
Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart
And the peace to stand still

I hear demons laughing in my sleep, cheering my fears
When I cast them out with love, they point to lust that's near
I have regrets, wishing I didn't start this
Joseph Conrad couldn't narrate through this Heart of Darkness
Worry, doubt, confusion, has me uninspired
Imposter's syndrome got me afraid I'll be fired
Visions of homelessness flood my soul, now I'm drowning
In a sea of self-pity - they wonder why I'm frowning
Now I'm fully submerged, baptized in this commotion
Sending flares to rescue from this ocean of emotion
My S.O.S. call reaches the mental health office
I'm on a therapist's couch recalling losses
Pouring pain in his cup, he adds advice, now a mixture
Past hurts, sound words, lessons learned form the elixir
Medication for inner edification divine
Toasting to the future & present sound mind

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart
Lord You know I wanna do Your will
Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart
And the peace to stand still
Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart
Lord You know I wanna do Your will
Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart
And the peace to stand still
Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart
Lord You know I wanna do Your will
Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart
And the peace to stand still
Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart
Lord You know I wanna do Your will
Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart
And the peace to stand still
