38th-parallel State of mind

I stand tall with an arrogant grin
Filled with pride as I chase the dreams
that are riding on the wind In ignorant
determination watch me pursue But I’m

not and they’re not enough to satisfy
the hunger pains of my soul They are
like fading mirages, illusions that
leave me sold to the truth That’s
the essence of me . . . I’m not enough

CHORUS
So here I am Broken on my knees stretching
out my weary hands Grasp them and lift me

Help me to find a rest in your arms that
can change my state of mind I stagger the
earth with one defeated sigh I once was

longing to live now I’m longing to die
Having attained everything that I desired
was not enough Not enough to quench the thirst
for life, for hope for peace Captive to my
pride now I beg for sweet release And then
a voice breathes in whispers to my soul
"I am enough, I am enough"

CHORUS

Set my awkward steps straight in line Move
me to walk this life with your hand in mine
