Times I've spent, I've spent searching, looking, wanting answers...but so scared, so frightened it won't be what I want,
Then I realise my conscious effort to filter out the imperfection in my life, to seek the guidance for the truth,
Remove the time spent wasted, the time lost,
Time lost, lost.

Straining to achieve,
Facing reality,
I'm not apart...I'm not apart from my eternity,
Strain.
Straining to achieve,
Facing reality,
I'm not apart...I'm not away from my eternity.

Recovered from afar, a past of unbroken dreams only wanting for myself,
So dark to what I see - strain,
Reaching toward a higher place to save me from this pain,
What to gain' - A life of strain, a race to run,
Standing up to for other one...no other one but the true God.

Strain,
Reaching toward a higher place, save me from this pain,
What to gain' - A life of strain, a race to run,
Standing up for no other one.
