[Verse 1]
I am like the dried up earth
Wasted and waiting for the rain
I can't boss the sky 'cause I'm just dirt
But I sure am glad that the water came
But I sure am glad that the water came
[Verse 2]
And I am like a leafless tree
Dead beneath the winter's cold
I can't make the sun shine on me
But I sure am happy when he melts the snow
Yeah, I sure am happy when he melts the snow
[Verse 3]
And I am a battle, I am a war
Captive to keepin' the score
I can't shake the law, can't shake my shame
Won't somebody come and break these chains
Won't somebody come and break these chains
[Verse 4]
And I am a sinner born in the dark
Dead like the dirt and the leafless tree
There's a war inside my heart
But the blood of Jesus sets me free
Yeah, the blood of Jesus sets me free
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeahhh
