Intro: x2
When I was young, I grew up in a Christian family
I wanted to please my parents
I wanted them to be so proud of me
So I took their faith and I learned their religion
And I went to a church where everyone was a Christian
Chorus:
I've strayed far, but I'm fine
I've strayed far, but I'm fine
I've strayed far, but you've been with me God
All this time
Then I went away to school and I found new friends
I wanted to please them too, to be liked by them
And if they didn't need God, then neither did I
And I got to be so busy, that it pretty much slipped my mind
Chorus.
Now I'm out of school and I'm finally alone
No one to tell me what to do, but no beliefs to call my own
But in my times of loneliness, in my desperate independence
I wondered if there was a God and if he cared where I'd been
Chorus. (this time it's "I think I've missed you God")
And when I'd run, 'till I'd run out
When being broken made me look a second time
Now I can see, I can see clearly
That You've been with me all this time
Chorus.
