Greatest Theft

Save me from myself
I'm becoming someone else
I know I'm not good at just listening
I know your plans are good
And your heart is kind
But I won't pretend like this
World hasn't got my mind

And I don't need my name in lights
Or something more pretty
It's a lot more simple
And a matter of dignity
If I give you all of me
Will there be anything left
Does a God steal human hearts
Isn't that the greatest theft

I tried to go to church
But I couldn't find you there
There was a spirit in the room
A TED talk from a millionaire

I know you're in the trees
And the birds hear your song
I'd rather walk alone
And just humm along

And I don't think I'm bitter
At your shepherds or their flock
I just want to do it better
Somehow I think that's what youd want

I'll ignore the manager story
I like it better when you're a king
When we finally meet in heaven
I want a diamond and a ring

Cause I tried really hard
To be your special little boy
But since Moses struck the rock
Gods don't give that anymore

And I thought we could be one
The mortal and divine
But you don't share your glory
At least not with humankind

If I let go
Will there be anything left
If I let go
Will there be anything left
If I let go
Will there be anything left
If I let go
Will there be anything left
I know there won't
