VERSE 1
All creation is groanin for transformation
Somethings missing or broken we know it but cant explain it
Ignore it, control it, cure it,
Just medicate with diplomacy, education, yoga and meditation
We hope for regeneration of shattered lives.
it’s a lot of strife, broken homes and battered wives
Seen too many sights on this globe I’m saddened by
Tell me what’s the price for our souls to be satisfied
We mad deprived of love, joy, peace, and purity
Building castles with sand or with heaps of currency
These palaces of paper got weak security
Collapsing with the weight of pride that creeps internally
Will I reach eternity with the same old baggage?
I pray just to manage but this frame I inhabit
Never change, just a savage and a slave to its habits
I’m hoping for better days while embracing madness

HOOK 1
Tired of living in this world gone bad
Tryin’ to resist but the curse won’t pass
Father, how long is this hurt gon’ last?
I’m sick of these labour pains

VERSE 2
I am less than perfect, a broken manifestation
A sinner covered in crimson, just hoping for sanitation
Groped by the hands of satan, mistakin’ it for affection
Allured by lust, slander, and gettin’ vengeance
A slave to what I crave, I just call ‘em inherent needs
Errantly thinking that satisfaction is guaranteed
There beneath the surface of what appears to be
A very sweet offer but clearly leads to despair and grief
Yet I dare repeat these careless deeds that are tearing deep
And ensnaring me, my spirit’s weaker than flesh
And Lord, the enemy’s tryin’ to bury me in regret
For a record most surely unworthy of your respect
All sin bears a cost, deservedly it is death
But you still deliver sinners in 30 minutes or less
I’m safe in your hands, not budging until you’re done
Chiselling me, into the imagery of your Son

VERSE 3
I’m in it for the long haul
Got a distance left, but I walk tall
Won’t hit reject when my God calls
I been rebellin, misdirected, but my sin’s been left at the cross y’all
Am I lost cause? Listen, I’m the farthest thing
Christ’s price check says one life’s worth a martyred king
And he bought us fair and square when he gave his life
By the Father, we’re declared as heirs with the saviour Christ
Dared to bear the burden of the pain and plight
Never take a hike, just take heed and take heart, ‘cause the weight is light
When compared to the glorious revelation
Of total emancipation from brokenness and enslavement
We groaning and yeah we aching
But no we’re never forsaken
The more we weather the storm then the more we anticipatin’
The coming of the King who brings wholeness and reparation
He’ll summon all his kin to his courts for a celebration
We’ll come under his wing in worship and adoration
And He’ll topple over sin
Like a stone in the hands of David.

HOOK 2
Tired of living in this world gone bad
Tryin’ to resist but the curse won’t pass
Father, I know you can reverse my past
I’m done with these labour pains
