Survival In Disguise 歌词

I am a sinner, oh my soul I turn a blind eye, oh my soul Oh, my soul Does not the surface fail to hold? Is not the water for too cold Cold for me? Through all my doubting And all my longing A shallow instinct To do what serves me But still, I know that life is not Meant to be lived simply for me But what is serving others if Not just a means to feel complete Before we die, is finding love Just survival in disguise? I pray for others with fingers crossed That I may keep what I call mine I'm a stranger, but you clothed me I was shaken and you held me Though you were to my left, you gave to one with less And your actions were made right But take no pride in what you've done for me Because the heart seeks for self-serving means Confine one's darkest ego, learn to let go Embrace what it means to be free We run into the shadows Where our shame no longer hides But in the light exposed Our character now compromised So when your joy comes from serving and not being served Giving to the far more deserving That's when I do my best work I am a sinner, oh my soul I turn a blind eye, oh my soul But still, I know that life is not Meant to be lived simply for me But what is serving others if Not just a means to feel complete Before we die, is finding love Just survival in disguise? I pray for others with fingers crossed That I may keep what I call mine
