[Intro: From Waking Life]
On the way to discovering what we love
We will find everything we hate
Everything that blocks our path and what we desire
Comfort will never be comfortable
For those who seek what is not on the market
A systematic questioning of the idea of happiness
We’ll cut the vocal chords of every empowered speaker
We’ll yank the social symbols through the looking glass
We’ll devalue societies currency
To confront the familiar society is a fraud
So complete and venal that it demands to be destroyed
Beyond the power of memory to recall its existence
Where there is fire we will carry gasoline
To interrupt the continuum of everyday experience
And all the normal expectations that go with it
To live as if something actually depended on one’s actions
To rupture the spell of the ideology
Of a co-modified consumer society
So that our repressed desires
Of a more authentic nature can come forward
To demonstrate the contrast between
What life presently is and what it could be
To immerse ourselves in the oblivion of actions
And now we’re making it happen
We’ll be an intensity never before known in everyday life
[Verse 1]
Waiting for the day to come
My illusions have excluded any negativity
The fire of my passion burning in my lungs
Temptation on the shoulders of my armor
Have I proven that I’m stronger
Give the glory to the highest
In the heavens I am honored
My head is bowed before the Lord
With my words and in my soul
Stricken I’m afflicted with the power of his sword
Sin is slain death has died it conquers me no more
Find me in my rest
Restoring to my fullness faith is all I have
Certain of my worth walking straight ahead
See me at the top here is Broken once again
Walls are breaking down
Like Jericho they can’t defend
My blessings are for taking
I’m entering the land
This is for my dreams from beginning to the end
Going back to the start
I’ll let em know that I’m coming
They better prepare

[Hook]
Refine me through the flames and fire
I burn for you brighter
I can’t give up now
Refine me through the flames and fire
I burn for you brighter
I can’t give up now
[Verse 2]
My bones are feeling weak
I’m shaking at my knees
Forgive my sins I’m saying please to the Father
To put this all behind
My past is like a ghost
The voices screaming in the steps that I take
I can’t seem to put them all behind
They haunt me in the day
They’re realer in my dreams
I look up to the sky thankful for today
Breathe the air in exhale the old out
My efforts running thin how much more can I allow
I know that I can do this my reason for waking up
It’s time to face the music am I really brave enough
Hold my head up high you’re the apple of my eye
I chose it in the garden now I’m working for my rights
I’ve strayed to right and left conserving what is left
Will I be the best? Rapping is my life
I’m not about to give up yet
God you are my strength my love is to the death

[Hook]
Refine me through the flames and fire
I burn for you brighter
I can’t give up now
Refine me through the flames and fire
I burn for you brighter
I can’t give up now
