I can't act as if I've lived a perfect life
Cuz that just ain't right
I'm a screw-up
I have few talents to speak of
Just walking is a challenge at times
Don't pity what you can't see
Don't agonize your mind just for me
I may be broken but I would be a fool
To not look and see the light that shines through my shattered views
I can't act as if I haven't been blessed with every breath I catch
I can stand so, for now, that's enough for me
I can reach out and touch lives that I can't act as if I know
But I will search out until I connect with that heart no madder how cold
I can't act like everything will always be this okay
There might be a day
When I say
That I can't take it anymore
I might slam some doors
Even if I'm one mistake away from a morgue
I can't act like God doesn't watch my every step
So whatever comes next
I can't act like I could possibly grasp the future
But I am certain I won't have to act like someone I don't know
I can act the way I'm meant to
I have some rules to follow but they're not hard to
God's got me
And I can't act as if that's not important
