Mistaken Identity

Passive resistance on the lookout
Keepin' your distance, you're a man of doubt
Waitin' 'til you think you've got it figured out
Never lose control
Haven't you always been the strong one
Think you're gonna make it in the long run
Callin' all the shots the way you've always done
But can you save your soul?

Well, you're a self-made man
(So you say)
With a well laid plan
(Gone away)
Doin' all you can
(There's a price to pay)
To control all you see
You've got no time for grace
(So you say)
Think you can take God's place
(Gone away)
You've got a fatal case
Of mistaken identity

You've created your god in your own image
You make up the rules to suit your every wish
And you always seem
To leave behind a burnin' bridge
Oh, you're so alone
The kingdom you've built is what you worship
But the bigger it grows
The more you lose your grip
And the tighter you squeeze
The more it seems to slip
Still you hold on

'Cause you're a self-made man
(So you say)
With a well laid plan
(Gone away)
Doin' all you can
(There's a price to pay)
To control all you see
You've got no time for grace
(So you say)
Think you can take God's place
(Gone away)
You've got a fatal case
Of mistaken identity, ooh...

Are you really in control
Locked in the prison of your soul
The time has come for your release
But you must start on your knees

Oh, there's no such thing
As a self-made man
(Gone away)
With a well laid plan
(So they say)
Doin' all you can
(There's a price to pray)
To control all you see
You've got no time for grace
(So they say)
Think you can take God's place
(Gone away)
You've got a fatal case
Of mistaken identity

Oh, you're a self-made man
(So they say)
Where is that well laid plan
(Gone away)
You're losin' control
(There's a price to pay)
You're out of control
You need to know
You need God's grace
He took your place
It was a fatal case of mistaken identity

Oh, there's no such thing
As a self-made man
Oh, there's no such thing
As a self-made man
Oh, there's no such thing
As a self-made man...
