Rescue Me

Sights and sounds distract me from my purpose in this sad charade
So I beat the ground with leaps and bounds
If they can found then I’ll find a way, to be free evermore, but still can be sure if I found what I’m looking for
But all I found was misery, it stole the ground from under me, now I always stand out, in a crowd of, love and victory
I was nothing, til you rescued me
I was nothing nothing nothing, til you rescued me
Tightly bound in a worldly fetters six feet down as I waste away
The preacher told me to pray, but I turned away, in beauty and pleasure I stored up my treasure, all the riches a man never needs
But the rich are still poor, and the wise still unsure, and I don’t know what I’m looking for
If I came like a beggar, you stood like a king
And my black heart would tremble, and heaven would sing
You saved me, yes you saved , yes you saved me from my misery
You saved me, yes you saved, you’re erasing all my history
