Caedmon’s Call - The Truth lyrics

I've been putting off, putting off
Too many people and I'm getting all to it
Like an injured man's
Ailments unfilled prescription
Like the nose on my face
Like a broken boat safety raft
Love for the water i just dan't decide
To sink of swim it's me or
Them should I save myself?
Go back for the others'
Cuz there's maybe there's no gray and I
Was wrong to tell him so
Then maybe all that I've to do
Was done a long time ago rEFRAIN
Because there was life before my life
Was provision before there was need
Was redemption for my sin
For the sake of the world i thank the LORD
That the truth's not contingent on me

'Cause, I've been dressing up
Dressing down too many people
And I'm a little young to live
Like a troubled boy, troubled soul
Fish out of water
'Cause we're all just he same
We're all just as good, just as bad
As just as distracted by the
Corners of our eyes
As our father's were and theirs before
And all those before them
Still I glance around

And with the way I stare you
Think I'd seen through a
And with the way I walk you'd
Think I'd never seen grace before

Because there was life before my life
Was provision before my need
Was redemption for my sin
For the sake of the world i thank the LORD
That the truth's not contingent on me

I've been putting up
Putting down too many things
I know nothing about
Well I'm jealous of holding prize
Tired as I can she was my only daughter

There was life before my life
Was provision before my need
Was redemption for my sin
For the sake of the world i thank the LORD
That the truth's not contingent on me
'Cause the truth's not continent on me
