The Divine

Well, I've had a lot of time to sit and think Had a lot of moments on the brink of crashing Good and evil seem to compete Ooh, well, it keeps me on my feet, I'm balancing And this world tries to make you chase your lust Tempered, temptation, you cannot trust I know where that path leads, and it's not to peace Just a wicked game of catch and release And maybe you walk around in your spiritual handcuffs Trying to break free, maybe you've had enough The closer you get to God, the more sinful you may feel Ain't it funny how the enemy makes his appeal On trial in the devil's courtyard He brought me here, caught off guard knife was sharpened He sentenced me to a life of pain But I know something that can break those chains made of lies The maker of all skies And I'm using the time I spend to find the importance of being pure And learning that prayer is the only logical cure And when the evil comes knocking at my door I close my eyes and pray I won't hear those voices anymore, amen Cause the enemy is searching for lost souls to make a deal When you're caught in a bind that feels much too real You'll lose yourself in exchange for sin and shame Or an empty empire of power and worthless fame And you'll lose the meaning of life And he will laugh at your strife, you won't find gratitude But in all things holy you can rejoice It would be a folly not to make that choice change your attitude Carry yourself, carry your cross You will find your way across Follow the light, follow your dreams You'll meet the creator of rivers and streams You may be surprised but do not be afraid You are saved if you have a little bit of faith Just carry yourself, carry your cross You will find your way across To the divine, to the divine You better spend your time trying to find peace of mind You can quiet your mind Getting to the divine, getting to the divine You can quiet your mind You can quiet your mind You can quiet your mind
