Every Little Prison - Matt Maher

From wanting to be loved

From wanting to be praised by all

From needing to be first

From finding all my worth in this world

From wanting to be seen

From constant worrying about myself

Deliver me

From validating words

That only seem to serve a heart that’s proud

And oh, my self-esteem

Dressed up in vanity and doubt

From wondering if I am weller

Than the likes, oh God

Deliver me, deliver me

Show me what it all is like

Scribbled on the pages of a human life

We look through the ages

Do we see the light?

+++

Breakin' all the cages wide open

Every little prison, yeah +++

From fear of letting go

From fear of the unknown ahead

I’m being overlooked

And so misunderstood again

From fear being judged

From the rumors of a love that fails

Deliver me, deliver me

Show me what it all is like

Scribbled on the pages of a human life

We look through the ages

Do we see the light?

+++

Breakin' all the cages wide open

Every little prison

(Incomprehensible)

Closer to that choose what I set aside +++

Mostly have no sue

But when I fall on fire +++

Breakin' on the cages wide open

All these little prison

Show me what it all is like

Scribbled on the pages of a human life

We look through the ages

Do we see the light?

+++

Breakin' on the cages wide open

Every little prison, yeah
