I've Given up searchin'
Now I'm just livin'
Left all the stealin'
Now I'm just givin'
Ripped up all the lyin'
Tonight I feel like crying
On one knee with a prayer
I swear I am
Aware of your nightmares
Asleep as my baby stares
Let's leave it all behind us
And just play it blind, us
Walking in my bare feet,
The cool sand in my heart beat
With the full moon in my hand
I swear I am
I don't believe in your system
Cause I float in ancient wisdom
don't swallow the fear
that You push so near
I won't buy into your nightmare
My brother's close to my bosom
So on one knee I declare
I swear I am
As I bow my head to the ground
To the scream of the mighty wind
I can feel the Trees
and see what created me
Mother my Father dear
I was told you are still here
For the love of this world
I swear I am
I don't believe in your system
Cause I float in ancient wisdom
don't swallow the fear
that You push so near
I won't buy into your nightmare
My brother's close to my bosom
With the forest in my hand
I swear I am
