I must admit that I’ve been tryin’ so hard to make ends meet
Sometimes I think I can live this life the I want
and it leaves me on my face, right back where I started
Whatever happened to me trusting you to put my life together

Where did I turn away from you, and seem to ignore the voice inside
I’ve been tryin so long on my own, but now I accept the love and grace you’ve offered
Trusting you to bring me home, a place where there are no distractions
A place of treasure no one can replace, and a place where I’ve found you

When I am tryin’ to trust watchin’ this world’s possesions turn to rust
Wanting to grab a hold of something that would never be taken away
Give me the faith to keep on trusting
Give me the eyes to keep on seeing beyond what I can imagine

I want to give you my heart and let you transform me
I am tired of the world trying to conform me and leaving me broken
Looking around seeing nothing to live for, but you are the only one
who can end this never-ending cycle with your hope and love.

Trying to fit everything…into my world of make-believe…
Nothing to show for…without having it all in place…
It would seem to me…that my worries would be over…
If I could make it all up…trying to hide within my own little reality…
Faster than a bullet…penetrating my little secret…I can’t remain in make-believe…
When reality strikes me…it feels like a ton of bricks…waking me up from a fairy-tale dream…
trying to wish it all away…just trying to find another way to cope…

Sleeping soundly…in my father’s arms…the only thing I feel…
Is the warmth of my savior’s hands…as I rest and think about…
The time when nothing else matters…In a world so amazing…
You can try to imagine a life without pain…but it would be make believe…on this side of eternity…

Make believe my heart is breaking…make believe I could make it better on my own…
Trying to get things…done on my own…falling on my face…you gently bring me to my knees…
I want something…more than this world has to offer…
Trying to break out of my little…land of make-believe…when will I realize…
Making things up doesn’t make them come to pass…but I knew better than to bring others in…
My make-believe world is falling apart…because I am missing the one true Creator…
Faith in my maker to make things come to pass…there have been so many times…
I wanted to be in control of my own life…and when I worried…
I was living in the illusion…that I was in control…
