Inner Piece

My body's here
My soul is there
A star in trouble
A star in fear

It's time to rise up
It's time to get going
Oh it's time
Oh it's time
It's time to shake loose
Just what had held you
It don't control
Control you
It's time to rise up
And call it quits
Living those lies
And talking your shit
It's time to shake loose
Just what had held you
I'm looking for a place
It's called inner peace

Where is this place that they talk about
This place that I never knew anything about
Except for in the confines of my mothers arms
Or maybe perhaps in the songs
That I was hearing on the radio
But in the struggles and the places I had been
In all the people I had seen
I never seen this love
This home
Never felt this place
I always just wanted to go somewhere else
Always just felt better by myself
Always safer without anyone else

I don't need to hear your words
To hear the inner me screaming that it's time to rise
Yea I know its time

But where am I supposed to go
When home never felt like home
And what am I supposed to see
If the seeds that they planted
They never seemed to grow
And what am I supposed to see
When I look out the window
Reminded money was the problem?

Born with drugs in my system and alcohol in my blood
Young boy watch his father beat the shit out his mother
Sorting out the meaning of what it means
To be a man in a "mans world"
Hurting everyone around you
Every chance they were kind to you
Something that seemed fine for you
Yea I been blessed with a cock and some balls or something
And a beautiful voice but it's something
That can haunt a man if he's not careful
With the power he's been given in a beautiful world
That spins in a beautiful circle weaving and turning
You're either in taking or you are in service

Be careful with your intentions in this dimension
Cause they're just extensions of the fences that either you built
Or you trying to tear down

And who am I
And where am I now
Selfishly sharing something thats scary
I think I should call it my
Inner piece

It's time to rise up
It's time to get going
Oh it's time
Oh it's time
It's time to shake loose
Just what had held you
It don't control
Control you
It's time to rise up
And call it quits
Living those lies
And talking your shit
It's time to shake loose
Just what had held you
I'm looking for a place
It's called inner peace
