Paroles de Those Days...Happy!

There, in the distance, do you see?
Do you see?
A circling enemy surrounds me, stalking me, haunting me, blocking me from eternity spent living, free, free, ohhhhh

I've lived long and I've realized this. I've despised this but I have to remain alive with this.
Oh, for my purpose on the earth has not yet reached the surface.

What's holding me back, what's holding me back?

What's holding me back?

Why don't I just indulge myself into this world and fire it out.
Well, when such an action is carried out, I'm sure it will fail;
because around me, is wrapped in a tight cloak in the sea,
a cloak my father wore before me, handed down for generations.

temptation, devastation.

If I had leaped across that ocean I would surely drown, strangled beyond belief.

oooooeeeooooooouuooooo

I am tangled in my own jealously and my own self-important importance, but really I am nothing, I am nothing, there is no reason for me, I have no purpose. If I would leave to cross that ocean I know I will drown, I know I will fail

but now I have come, to terms with myself, oh
my cloak is part of me and it cannot be discarded, and slowly, ever so slowly; and I journey through life, through my ocean, and I know I am safe, I know I'm safe and now my cloak keeps me warm, my cloak keeps me warm
and I only have Christ to thank, I only have Christ to thank.

My cloak keeps me warm, and I only have Christ to thank.
Or do I?
Does He think He can just control me?
