From the Ground Up - 12 Is Closer Lyrics

I will quell the beast inside
No longer paralyzed by the damage of my past
Time has cornered me but I must still believe
That good things are still yet to come

But I must confess it blew me away
The thought of this history shaping my way
Now I won't admit defeat so easily
Because I am the master of my destiny

God is testing me for this life I lead and I refuse to be anything but

I am me
All I am
You will see
All I have
I won't be
What I'm not
I am free

When I took the time to analyze all of my crimes
I saw the monster I'd become
When this dawned on me, I'm finally set free
The curse of man plagues me no more

But I must confess it blew me away
The thought of this history shaping my way
Now I won't admit defeat so easily
Because I am the master of my destiny

God is testing me for this life I lead and I refuse to be, anything but

I am me
All I am
You will see
All I have
I won't be
What I'm not
I am free
I am free
I am free

I am now reborn. I'll use this power to reform
The life that I am leading now
With this newfound strength, I brought my life back from the brink
The curse of man plagues me no more
