"Through Sunlit Leaves" lyrics

I've done all I can
To be a better man
But once your mind's
Been split between
Some just won't understand
What it's like to see
A different person in me
A presence I've identified
But cannot get to leave

I called out to God
Extended my hands
Was the pain in pursuit of purpose
Still part of the plan

Everyone sees a scar
And wants to relate
Unaware what it means
To carry the weight
I can't fake
All it's taken to
Break my mistakes
It replays day to day
I can't get away
It wasn't a choice
I had no voice
I was a slave to my medicine

The way the birds call
From the trees
It is my only remedy
I wish the sun
Would grace my face

Everyone sees a scar
And wants to debate
What it means to hurt
What's real and what's fake
Is your faith beyond fate
Is it something you can taste
Something inside your skin
Something living within
Many nights we scream to the stars
Is it because we know it's our heart

I called out to God
Extended my hands
Was the pain in pursuit of purpose
All part of the plan
At first I always wondered
But now I know I know
Dwelled enough on every thought
To turn them all to poems
