Verse 1
I’m overwhelmed, the things you ask I cannot do.
I found a broad path; I think I’ll take a stroll or two.
Don’t worry, I’ll still teach the things you say
Then perhaps others will find that narrow way.
Chorus
I have no doubt it’s all real, and you are the king,
and I’m trying so hard.
But I love it here.
Do not call me away; I will not go.
I love it here
Verse 2
When evening comes, I close my eyes, I say your name
But when the morning star rises in my heart, it lights my shame.
The angles cry, the rivers dry, the whole earth groans.
And I begin to await judgment and cry alone.
Chorus
I have no doubt it’s all real, and you are the king,
and I’m trying so hard.
But I love it here.
Do not call me away; I will not go.
I love it here
Bridge
Do not come near to me, do not ask of me, get away from me. I’m just a man.
Do not call me, Do not speak to me, depart from me, I’m just a man.
Do not give to me, do not forgive me, do not union me, I’m just a man
Do not break me, do not carry me, do not love me, I’m just a man.
Outro
Don’t look too closely; I do not want to disappoint
On the inside, I’m burdened with the weight that holds me in place.
Search my heart, know I don’t want to let you down…
But it’s raining so loud, and your voice is being drowned out.
Search my heart, know I don’t want to let you down…
But it’s raining so loud, and your voice is being drowned out.
Depart from me, please, I’m begging you from my knees
Do not come near to me, stay back, and keep holy
What did you do? What did you agree to?
you take my place? Did you just take my place?
