Sound Mind ft. Katie Burke Lyrics

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart

Lord you know I wanna do your will

Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart

And the peace to stand still

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart

Lord you know I wanna do your will

Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart

And the peace to stand still

So many thoughts race through my brain trying to gain

The advantage & cross the finish line to reign

Over my essence in this physical plane

Driving me insane – straight jackets, latches, feeling deranged

Lust got me burning to slay women in my bed

Pornographic fantasies, fornicating in my head

My adulteries breaking happy homes in divorces

Death of love in my heart after it ran its courses

Competing with anger, analyzing strangers

To see who's a mark to receive this vicious danger

Unforgiven grudges pent up since a child

Combined with slights & injustice, ready to go wild

But at times I'm despondent, I'm not responding

I see the case built against me, I'm absconding

Retreating to my cave stuck in silence it's haunting

Asking for favor to clear my mind, the task is daunting

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart

Lord you know I wanna do your will

Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart

And the peace to stand still

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart

Lord you know I wanna do your will

Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart

And the peace to stand still

I hear demons laughing in my sleep, cheering my fears

When I cast them out with love, they point to lust that's near

I have regrets, wishing I didn't start this

Joseph Conrad couldn't narrate through this Heart of Darkness

Worry, doubt, confusion, has me uninspired

Imposter's syndrome got me afraid I'll be fired

Visions of homelessness flood my soul, now I'm drowning

In a sea of self-pity – they wonder why I'm frowning

Now I'm fully submerged, baptized in this commotion

Sending flares to rescue from this ocean of emotion

My S.O.S. call reaches the mental health office

I'm on a therapist's couch recalling losses

Pouring pain in his cup, he adds advice, now a mixture

Past hurts, sound words, lessons learned form the elixir

Medication for inner edification divine

Toasting to the future & present sound mind

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart

Lord you know I wanna do your will

Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart

And the peace to stand still

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart

Lord you know I wanna do your will

Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart

And the peace to stand still

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart

Lord you know I wanna do your will

Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart

And the peace to stand still

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart

Lord you know I wanna do your will

Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart

And the peace to stand still
