Lyrics

I was ripped, ragged and weary
And my bones, they ached so much
My blood dripped, my eyes were teary
As I reached out for someone to touch
I was so blind, I could not see
I could not find the place to be
I was so lost, I was so cold
While I wasted time chasing
Wasted time chasing fool's gold

I was young, full of ambition
And false gods lured me astray
I would run to any mission
I was asleep in the light of the day
I did not hear, I did not feel
I only feared what was not real
At such a cost my soul was sold
While I wasted time chasing
Wasted time chasing fool's gold

Wondering where it all went
Wondering what it all meant
Looking for somewhere to hide
When the answer was waiting inside

Now I'm blessed and filled with wonder
I'm awake and I can breathe
I will not rest, I feel the thunder
Of your love, now I truly believe
I feel so strong, I feel so light
My heart belongs to what is right
To you I cross, it's you I hold
No longer wasting time chasing
Wasting time chasing fool's gold
