Wake Up

Wakes up in the morning
Feeling unhappy
Wishing she was someone else
Wishing she were somewhere else

People think she's wonderful
People think she's beautiful
People think she's popular
That she's got it all together

Why do we find it so hard
To look the past the mask of
Self-sufficiency
Hidden beneath plastered white smiles
Little girls
Longing for love

Wakes up in the morning
Feeling kinna lonely
Longing for some happiness
Longing for some kindness

She's crying out
Crying out
For this world to wake up
Wake up.

I'm Running Away

I’m running, running
I’m running, running away
I’m running, running
I’m running, running away X2

You can say what you wanna say
Do you what you wanna do
But I don’t care
I’m running away anyway

My past, it’s never gonna hold me down
You might think I’m a coward
But actually I ran off in faith
So you can

Say what you wanna say
Do what you wanna do
I don’t really care
I’m running away anyway!

Will you take me just as I am

Will you take me just as I am
With all of my pain, all of my fear
All of my stupid mistakes
That I make again and again?
I have nowhere else to turn
I hang on to this one plea
That Jesus, you love me so much
You died for me.

I’m often ashamed by the things that I do
The things that I say, or the things that I don’t
Sometimes I keep trying to make it on my own
Even though I know it’s impossible

So now I’m giving up my struggle
This life will always be too much without you
But in you I know I’ve found the answer
You are my strength because I’m weak

Broken

Broken I come to you
I’m needing your touch on my life
I don’t pretend to be strong
I have nothing to bring, only this

Wounded soul
Of a lost and frightened child
Longing for the hand of a Saviour
To hold me tight and never let me go
Let me hear your tender voice
Speak healing to me now
