Outside In

It's hard for me to face that so much time has passed
 And all the things that went away
 Were those I thought would last
 It's hard to look into the mirror dark within
 And not embracing the reflection there
 May be my greatest sin!
 Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in
 It's like I'm watching someone else
 Living in my skin
 Hope has stained my heart in vain
 I'm drowning in my sin
 Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in!
 Outside looking in!
 Standing here with empty hands to fill my heart
 And thinking I am winning in a race I didn't start
 Why is it that I always fail to hit the mark?
 How can I be connecting while I'm unplugged in my heart?
 Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in
 It's like I'm watching someone else
 Living in my skin
 Hope has stained my heart in vain
 I'm drowning in my sin
 Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in!
 Outside looking in!
 Father have mercy on your son
 And always bring me home again however far I've run
 Father grant wisdom for within
 So I no longer have to be on the outside looking in!
