John Budrevo - Understand Myself

I was gazing through a silent mist
At a distant fountain
And I prayed Lord, oh Lord
Help me understand myself

I'm aware of everything I've missed
Need to climb that mountain
So I pray Lord, oh Lord
Help me understand myself

I'm a poor boy on the run
I have never seen the sun
I'm not safe inside this system
All the lessons that I've learned
All the bridges that I've burned
I want you to sit and listen

There's a passion I just can't define
Like a wave that's breaking
So I pray Lord, oh Lord
Help me understand myself

I get shivers running down my spine
And my nerves are shaking
So I pray Lord, oh Lord
Help me understand myself

There's a hellhound on my trail
He will get me if I fail
To be righteous and observant
Is there music for the poor?
Will there be a sudden cure?
Let that tune now be my servant

Grind, it's a grind
It's a back, backbreaking grind
It's easy to ignore the rose
That blossoms in the distance
Grind, it's a grind
It's a back, backbreaking grind
I'm heading for the overload
I know I need assistance
Grind, it's a grind
It's a back, backbreaking grind
Maturity is far from me
Can I be even older?
Grind, it's a grind
It's a back, backbreaking grind
No, I don't need prosperity
A weight upon my shoulder

I was gazing through a silent mist
At a distant fountain
And I prayed Lord, oh Lord
Help me understand myself
And I prayed Lord, oh Lord
Help me understand myself
