Better

So blinded by my own desire I blew out our love's first fire A part of my life has been wasted By choosing to live recklessly How did it come to this? Yeah, but still your arms are wide open for me You know I feel dirty But you've filled your heart with my needs My life is so broken But you long to put me back together How did it come to this? I can't stand living without you near Better is one day in your courts Than a thousand elsewhere I cry out for help 'cause I lack the strength, purpose to live From all of the choices, I'll take the only one That can change me deep within How did it come to this? Only you can help me, you alone Better is one day in your courts Than a thousand elsewhere I was enslaved by my heart Then you broke the chains, and freed me from all my pride And now I'd rather live at your door Than starve in the rotten wealth of this Earth Better is one day in your courts Than a thousand elsewhere
