Number One
Why is it so hard to believe?
Why do I have to prove myself
To the One who gave me life?
Why do I have to complicate life?
Try to create life
In the image of my own confusion?
I try so hard to be the best.
I don't want much
I just want to be number one.
The irony is
As long as I try
I'll never make it!
As long as I keep on trying to be number one
I am saying that I am not.
I can never be number one
Until I stop trying
Stop fighting against myself
And the Life within me.
I need to stop trying
To be the best,
And begin being what I am
A living reflection of God.
Why do I have to prove myself
To the One who gave me life?
Why do I have to complicate life?
Try to create life
In the image of my own confusion?
I try so hard to be the best.
I don't want much
I just want to be number one.
The irony is
As long as I try
I'll never make it!
As long as I keep on trying to be number one
I am saying that I am not.
I can never be number one
Until I stop trying
Stop fighting against myself
And the Life within me.
I need to stop trying
To be the best,
And begin being what I am
A living reflection of God.
