lyrics

Do you have to go over the line
Before you can feel truly free
From the monsters that howl in your mind
Vowing to never leave you be?

Or do you love yourself so little
That you barely even care
That the Lord made you for a purpose
And He gave you a gift to share?

Do you long for the moment of bliss
After the knockout punch?
Do you wish for the kind of near miss
That makes you feel gratitude to be alive?

Your losing attitude
Is no way to live.
You have more to give.

Do you have to surrender to darkness
So you can hide from your shame
In a world unforgiving and heartless
Content to beat you at your own game?

If you think that you don't have the courage
To learn to face your flaws,
The Lord made you for a purpose.
He didn't die for a lost cause.

Do you long for the moment of bliss
After the knockout punch?
Do you wish for the kind of near miss
That makes you feel gratitude to be alive?

Your losing attitude
Is no way to live.
You have more to give.

Perhaps, it isn't too late
Boxing your shadow,
Flirting with fate.
Tempting death is no escape.

Do you long for the moment of bliss
After the knockout punch?
Do you wish for the kind of near miss
That makes you feel gratitude to be alive?

Your losing attitude
Is no way to live.
You have more to give.
