Are my prayers in vain,
the time that is spent,
from this never ending refrain.
I have nothing to gain,
from these wrongs I now resent,
the sins of life stain.
A lifetime of pain,
one moment to vent,
from this never ending refrain.
As I sit in His reign,
from my faults I now repent,
the sins of life stain.
These feelings I can't explain,
of this never ceasing torment.
From this never ending refrain,
the sins of life stain.
Everyday is nothing but the same,
as life becomes just routine.
It comes part of me, the guilt the shame,
as my heart turns yellowish green.
Everything within me just drains,
as I try to break through this strife.
Save me from this never ending refrain,
this cycle of everyday life.
I give up control, weary is my soul,
the sins of life has taken its toll.
For it's these voices of the brain,
that I can't seem to withstand.
I'm the man behind the pain.
Release me from this spiritaul strain,
let my heart and soul be scanned
from this never ending refrain.
Nothing given, nothing to gain,
Lord, help me to understand,
I'm the man behind the pain.
On Your words, I shall retain,
for all else is sinking in the sand
from this never ending refrain.
These sins, I can no longer explain,
needing of Your healing hand.
I'm the man behind the pain,
from this never ending refrain.
