Lyrics State Of Mind - 38th Parallel

State Of Mind

I stand tall with an arrogant grin
Filled with pride as
I chase the dreams that are riding on the wind
In ignorant determination watch me pursue
They’re not enough.
They’re not enough to
Satisfy the hunger pains of my soul
They are like fading mirages,
Illusions that leave me sold to the truth
That’s the essence of me
I’m not enough.
I’m not enough.
Chorus
So here I am
Broken on my knees stretching out my weary hands
Grasp them and lift me
Help me to find a rest in your arms
That can change my state of mind
Verse 2
I stagger the earth with one defeated sigh
I once was longing to live now I’m longing to die
Having attained everything that I desired
Was not enough.
Not enough to
Quench the thirst for hope, for life, for peace.
Captive to my pride now I beg for sweet release
And then a voice breathes in whispers to my soul
«I am enough, I am enough»
(Chorus 2)
So here I am
Broken on my knees stretching out my weary hands
Grasp them and lift me
Help me to find a rest in your arms
That can change my state of mind
Right now, I wanna stand.
Secure in your embrace, and walking hand in hand.
… to know you, as I find
A rest in your arms, that can change my state of mind.
Verse 3
Set my awkward steps straight in line
Move me to walk this life
With your hand in mine
(Chorus 2)
