Tests

My Lord he came to me
And asked me son
What do you want
I respond
A happy life
A peaceful one
He laughs and looks at me in disbelief
You know full well
Having both is hard to find
So please choose one
And I know you're the type
That needs peace of mind
I know that you don't feel like one of them
So why bother and pretend
Instead I suggest
I'll give you tests that bring you

To the edge of breaking
And you will write about it (you will write about it)
You will take your heart and pour
When it screams (when it screams)
And we'll continue this
Until you see
It's what you are
It's all you'll ever be (all you'll ever be)
So make your peace (make your peace)

But father
I refuse to see this concept as a whole
It's flawed and one day I will break and fall
Tell me just how good am I
To those around
When I'm weak
To care just for me
I mean you can try if you want
But I can't promise anything
Take your chance and see for yourself
Many tried and got back down
They sold their soul and hearts in the pursuit
Instead I suggest
I'll give you tests that bring you

To the edge of breaking
And you will write about it (you will write about it)
You will take your heart and pour
When it screams (when it screams)
And we'll continue this
Until you see
It's what you are
It's all you'll ever be (all you'll ever be)
So make your peace (make your peace)

I'm on the edge of breaking
And I will write about it (you will write about it)
I will take my heart and pour
When it screams (when it screams)
And I'll continue this
Until I see
It's what I am
It's all I'll ever be (all you'll ever be)
So I'm in peace (make your peace)
