Too Many Times

Too Many Times - Michael Smith

Who do I hope to finally be

Is it not your life in me

Yet the how's too hard to see

Too many times

Will I ever finally be

The true intended me

Will the old in me be freed

And left behind

Too many times

I'm back inside

Wanting desperately to hide

Yet I know I know you say

You have to die

Too many times

You hear my cries

I'm at the end of all my tries

So I'm open Lord

So teach me how to die

Here I am again alone

Afraid I'll lose all that I own

Yet you see me as your one

I cannot fall

What I am I still am not

At times I count the cost

Yet I find there's nothing lost

If I give it all

Too many times

I'm back inside

Wanting desperately to hide

Yet I know I know you say

You have to die

Too many times

You hear my cries

I'm at the end of all my tries

So I'm open Lord

So teach me how to die

Too many times

You hear my cries

I'm at the end of all my tries

So I'm open Lord

So teach me how to die

Too many times

I'm back inside

Wanting desperately to hide

Yet I know I know you say you have to die

Too many times

You hear my cries

I'm at the end of all my tries

So I'm open Lord so teach me how to die
