(chorus): All I want to be "All in all, all I want to be" All I know to be "All in all, all I know to be" All I can hope to be "All in all, all I can hope to be" So my prayer is that the all in all becomes all in me Early in the AM, a new day's in I'm in my bed still laying I think I'm gonna stay in I've got to get motivation for what I'm facing This world is heavy I feel my weight bend Pressure to measure up but I'm nothing special I feel like an amateur in a world of professionals And I know man nobody's a pro man Some keep their heads high, some hang their heads low and I'm trying to find and hang mine in the right place Letting my weakness become your strength I'm taking each day as it comes Making each one a new one I'm starting over with the rise of the sun Embracing life this time holding onto what I believe in (chorus) The truth is humbling but also freeing Yeah, brought to a spot of brutal honesty Sometimes I feel all I've got is a pen and paper The chance to be honest and hope in a savior For a while it was hard to accept it You see stereotypes and religion killed my perspective So many questions aimlessly directed I looked to myself to try and correct it Now, that's an expectation that I shouldn't expect in That's a goal that I shouldn't have set Desire died and all that's left was frustration As well as an unhealthy self examination I analyzed it all to the point of psychological torment Still found no answers in my search for it Somewhere in all of this I started to realize I was looking to myself and things I couldn't provide (chorus)
