Jacob's Song

I fought from the beginning;
I thought that I was strong;
Life was about winning,
But I was losing all along;
And all the lies and deception,
That I had used to paved my way,
Left me empty and unknowing - 
Alone and so afraid;

I want to know you're there,
Because I've reached the end of myself;
And I'm tired of beating the air,
And never getting anywhere;
And I'm done with this game -
This who I am;
So can you put this heart to rest,
Because I can finally feel your hand. 

You came to me at night,
When I was at my worst;
You challenged me to fight,
To see who would give up first;
And I struggled until daybreak;
I couldn't let you get away,
Because I couldn't change myself,
And only you could change my name;

I want to know you're there,
Because I've reached the end of myself;
And I'm tired of beating the air,
And never getting anywhere;
And I'm done with this game -
This who I am;
So can you put this heart to rest,
Because I can finally feel your hand.
