231212: If It Kills Me

from Leap Songs, Part 2 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

It's too easy to plan on leaving
Anytime I'm feeling rough
I been hoping my faith is growing
When the going gets tough

Escape is an illusion
And I pray my actions prove it

Well I'm gonna' live if it kills me
Gonna' grab onto what thrills me
I'm gonna' chase down what fulfills me
Anything pure and true

I'm gonna' break the chains that bind me
Make peace with what's behind me
Whatever it takes to remind me
If it's the last thing I do

Gonna' break down and rebuild me
I'm gonna' live if it kills me

When it's stormy without warning
Day breaks and light comes pouring in
Count my blessings or doubt the message
Give it up or try again

Staring at the void
I forget that it's a choice
