[Chorus]
Is a coward secretly hiding lost?
Singing all my songs are gone, all their songs are gone
Is it the truth? – how can they stand when deaths fragrance – is their own?
I’m smelling something brewing, something ruining me
Something I’ve never seen, or been dreaming, that I would be redeemed
The only thing, that’s holding this back – is me
[Verse 1]
See everybody knows exactly how it feels to be down and then walking alone
When help isn’t shown, and life isn’t grown
You lose a sense of how you flow and how you sing
And you lose a sense of where to go and forget the fact you’ve been
Living – ah ah – every day so afraid
Of re-living – don’t you run away
From many of the things that will sting, stand, bring man down
With more comes less – so more test, less messed
Up – but my head stays down, I’ve found
No sound so profound, that the ground resounds – except for His
And this bliss is more than just a kiss
And more than just a risk, for justice is just-His
Truthfully, I can’t choose to be, fruitfully who I used to be
So supersede when I lose to greed and loose boot to the root when I choose the tree
Soon to be – singing in a new way
New talk for the one, who walks with the Son in a new day
Though we balk when we run, He stays
Looking – I stood in the past
Crooked and cooking the task – couldn’t I ask
For good? And then wouldn’t I bask
Shouldn’t I pass, then book in my part
For half martyred hearts guarded dark imparted marks
Scarred from the target of darts, marred from the last discarded mask
[Chorus]
Is a coward secretly hiding lost?
Singing all my songs are gone, all their songs are gone
Is it the truth? – how can they stand when deaths fragrance – is their own?
I’m smelling something brewing, something ruining me
Something I’ve never seen, or been dreaming, that I would be redeemed
The only thing, that’s holding this back – is me
[Verse 2]
So what are the steps on the way to my happiness
A play to display that I’d gladly give
Each day that I say that I’m praying to stay in the fray, but I lay – am I sadly hidd – en
And the pen in my hand, says that I stand, saying I can win
When I befriended a man, shaping the sand – making a plan in
My life, in the sight, for the light is bold
Despite the fight for my life He told
To ignite what is right with reminded coal
Fight for the plight of the blinded soul
Every single time that I find that I rhyme, and I climb on the line, and I try to recline
I sign with my mind and a crime to define, that is fine to remind the declining to die
Dining down with the lying
Say how crying drowns hidden findings
Stay found – defining sound, but deciding how to reply and bow and climb with the lion
You get this healing, yeah, I lost it too
But if you succumb to feelings, you miss the truth
That is glowing in the way and then growing in the day
And it’s slowing in the brave, and bestowing in the saved
The best professed rest to digest in His ways
Is rest, ingest less and digest what He craves
[Interlude]
What He craves, is truth
[Bridge]
A coward isn’t who you are
You were lost but now you’re far from home – from home
Coward isn’t who you are
You were lost but now you’re far from home – from home
Coward isn’t who you are
You were lost but now you’re far from home –
But His answer
Is an open armed embrace
An open armed embrace, for the coward
An open armed embrace, yeah
An open armed embrace for the coward
Coward isn’t who you are
You were lost and now you’re far from home
But his answer –
Is an open armed embrace, yeah
An open armed embrace for the coward
An open armed embrace, yeah
An open armed embrace for the coward
