Striving the waiting list

I woke up as a child sprinting
Like Usain Bolt running
Like MLK dreaming
following the world
doing the things of the heathen
but I didn't know Christ protects my rights
He was pierced to save me
Why do I need body piercing?
been to the court without a dime
to hire a lawyer for all my crimes

Now I'm tired I see the light
Shinning bright lights of a new day
Giving hopes for the perfect day
The more I dream, the more I see
It's hard to be who I believe
I wanna do right, I wanna live it
But when you think, you're over it
You realize the talk is easier than walk
But then failure isn't easy
Faith and action is life and bliss
