lyrics

Wait! Wait! I think I’m losing face with no regard for a leaking faith; with no regard for You. I’m still trying to climb a stair but it’s a ten foot wall with a three foot ladder. I’m still trying to earn the accolades and praise and fame I don’t need.

It’s not that this town’s too small for me, it’s that I’m just too small to believe that the problem is me.

I’m a saint and I’m a sinner, and experienced beginner. I’m a paradox of terms. In terms, I’m an already but not yet. I’m confidently confident. But, then again, I swear I know: I’m far too young to be this jaded. I’m far too old to be this optimistic. I’m learning how to let me go and throw away the things I don’t need.

Wait! Wait! It’s time I learned my place. I’ve travelled far too long at this ignorant pace. Grandstanding far too long and you: patiently, though I look just like the world; faithfully, though I’m anything but a hero, consistent, persistent; though I’m learning how to crawl.

I’m still trying to get this through my head, learning hard that grace isn’t elegant. Learning hard the distance between everything I know I should be and everything I am.
