"Every Little Prison (Deliver Me)" lyrics - MATT MAHER

From wanting to be loved
From wanting to be praised by all
From needing to be first
From finding all my worth in this world
From wanting to be seen
From constant worrying about myself

Deliver me

From validating words
That only seem to serve a heart that's proud
And oh, my self-esteem
Dressed up in vanity and doubt
From wondering if I am weller
Than the likes, oh God

Deliver me, deliver me

Show me what it all is like
Scribbled on the pages of a human life
We look through the ages
Do we see the light? +++
Breakin' all the cages wide open
Every little prison, yeah +++

From fear of letting go
From fear of the unknown ahead
I'm being overlooked
And so misunderstood again
From fear being judged
From the rumors of a love that fails

Deliver me, deliver me

Show me what it all is like
Scribbled on the pages of a human life
We look through the ages
Do we see the light? +++
Breakin' all the cages wide open
Every little prison

(Incomprehensible)
Closer to that choose what I set aside +++
Mostly have no sue
But when I fall on fire +++
Breakin' on the cages wide open
All these little prison

Show me what it all is like
Scribbled on the pages of a human life
We look through the ages
Do we see the light? +++
Breakin' on the cages wide open
Every little prison, yeah
