The Average

No one told me I would suffer
No one told me I would grieve
They told me live the way you want to
You still inherit eternity

But something I got in my head
Are telling me those words are dead
Now I can tell it's a lie and here's why

Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my Lover
Then I'll move along, I move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing color
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long

Now there are moments where I am faithful
But I do it for worldly gain
And if it doesn't come I will see that
Under all the self restraint

Something I got in my head
Are telling me those words are dead
Now I can tell it's a lie and here's why

Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my Lover
And then I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I'll pray it alone, I'll pray it alone

The truth is don't be surprised when trials
Come and invade your lives
The truth is we follow Christ
In the good or bad, in the day or night

Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my Lover
And then I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I'll pray it alone, I'll pray it alone
