The Root of All Evil

Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
 Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
 Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
 Cruel enough for me to feel no grief
 Never could have just a part of it
 I always need more to get by
 Getting right down to the heart of it
 The root of all evil has been running my whole life
 Dirty enough for me to lust, leaving nothing left to trust
 Jealous enough to still feel envious
 Lazy enough to sleep all day and let my life just waste away
 Selfish enough to make you wait for me
 Driven blindly by our sins, misled so easily
 Entirely ready to leave it behind
 I'm begging to break free
 Take all of me
 The desires that keep burning deep inside
 Cast them all away
 And help to give me strength to face another day
 I am ready
 Help me be what I can be
 ♪
 Self-centered fear has got a hold of me
 Clutching my throat
 Self-righteous anger running all through me
 Ready to explode
 Procrastination paralyzing me
 Wanting me dead
 These obsessions that keep haunting me
 Won't leave my head
 Help to do for me what I can't do myself
 Take this fear and pain
 I can't break out this prison all alone
 Help me break these chains
 Humility now my only hope
 Won't you take all of me, heal this dying soul?
 I can feel my body breaking
 I can feel my body breaking
 I'm ready to let it all go
 I can feel my body shaking
 Right down to the foundation
 The root of it all
 ♪
 Take all of me
 The desires that keep burning deep inside
 Cast it all away
 And help to give me strength to face another day
 I am ready
 Help me be what I can be
 I am ready
 Come to me, take me away
