Lyrics:

I've got to climb to the top

Never stop til I reach it

Til I feel that I'm good and that I'm in control

Of life and my thought

When I'm not I still preach it

Cause they're all gonna see if I start to fall or lose control

I'm losing control of this

I've been balancing on suspended pianos

And trying to appear composed

It makes the loudest noise when they begin to crash

With eyes on me I force a laugh

You come to me and set me free

Cross my arms across my chest

This is not a gift I can accept

But I appreciate the sentiment

I worked too hard for righteousness

To just lay down while You hand me this

And put my faith in something You call grace

From You

I've been lost inside a cave without a lantern

At every sound I start to run

Feel my way around the dark without a pattern

If I would wait You'd come

To rescue me and show the way

Cross my arms across my chest

This is not a gift I can accept

But I appreciate the sentiment

I worked too hard for righteousness

To just lay down while You hand me this

And put my faith in something You call grace

From You

Son, you're trying to earn

What is far beyond you

Son, you're trying to earn

What is freely given

Every time that you try to just reduce

This to a give and take

You spit in my face

And tell Me that this blood was shed in vain
