Brothers labor in their father's field
The younger receives favor the older steals
Struck down surrounded by anger and greed
Innocence left for dead to cry and bleed
Since the dawn of time the fall of man
Love lies bleeding in the palm of bloodstained hands
Youths grow weary they stumble they fall
Perfection dies to rise and save us all
As time goes by it's plain to see
I need more of you and less of me
Give me the strength to stand apart
It's the fight of my life it's a war of the heart
Nothing in this world ever stays the same
Springtime flowers bloom soon fade away
Silver moon erased by the rising sun
We smile for awhile and then we are gone
No one here can ever be set free
Until we see our chains of slavery
Blinded by pride we run our own race
Deceived to believe we are saved by his grace
As time goes by it's plain to see
I need more of you and less of me
Give me the strength to stand apart
It's the fight of my life it's a war of the heart
You pick me up take me by the hand
Lead me safely through the promised land
Knitted together like hand in glove
How can I say your love is not enough?
As time goes by it's plain to see
I need more of you and less of me
Give me the strength to stand apart
It's the fight of my life it's a war of the heart
