My Ignorance

(album: Slick Shoes - 1997)

Last night as I slept I saw my life slip away
Then you were next to me
I couldn't see your face but I knew
That it was you

Giving me a second chance
I'll never really understand
Why I cannot comprehend
Your love and grace
Why do I take pride in what I can't control
How can I claim what isn't really mine

What's the point to my ignorance?
The music that I see
The colors in the air
The breath in my lungs tonight
Why do I fight with you sometimes?

So today I walk down this road again
I understand now, some of what you said
Sometimes I lack the strength I need
But you come through

Every time I fail you're there to pick me up
When I need it most
When I've fallen hard you're there
No questions asked
You lift me up when I am down
Please open my eyes
Please help me understand

What's the point to my ignorance?
The music that I see
The colors in the air
The breath in my lungs tonight
Why do I fight with you sometimes?

What's the point to my ignorance?
The music that I see
The colors in the air
The breath in my lungs tonight
Why do I fight with you sometimes?
What's the point to my ignorance?
The music that I see
The colors in the air
The breath in my lungs tonight
Why do I fight with you sometimes?
