Dawn comes first with a shift of light
That rests on a shadow that becomes my own
What's in my head will not sustain me
What's in my heart is not enough to cope.
Shed my skin and break free of this
In search of something that becomes my own
But everthing is just coming at me
with no illusion of control.
Chorus
I need providence
And I need guidance
But you're not proving that what you're providing.
I need confidence
And I need assurance
with the understanding
that's all I'm wanting.
What happens to us just makes no sense
as we try harder and harder to understand
We create barriers and then can't bridge them,
to try to possess what we can't have.
What we've come to believe is so void of hope
We make life so serious, and it's still not enough
We do this so well with what I am told
I'm feeling so young, I'm feeling so old.
Chorus
Bridge
and I'm wanting
and I'm needing
and I'm giving
what I'm not receiving
and I'm wanting
and I'm needing
and I'm giving
what I'm not receiving
I have a mother who can't laugh
and I have a father who was afraid to leave
I live in a family who was secondguessed
with problems that you couldn't always see.
So I have shaky faith because things
are not that simple.
I have doubt because they've always been this way.
I have uncertainty because things should be so simple.
And because they've got to change.
And because they've got to change.
I seek to anticipate and to predict
to the point where I was sick of it.
'Cause I'm sorting out what's important to me
I'm sorting it out, I'm not calmly looking.
Intensity burned out long ago
By trying always not to get burned
Losing and finding and losing again
Cold is a pattern
I'm searching for warmth.
Chorus
understanding, that's all I'm wanting (x3)
