I AM SHAKEN

Sitting on a stone…

A deserted field…

Had to get away…

This can’t be real…

Don’t have to close my eyes…

To picture him…

Trying not to cry…

Can’t hold it in…

I can’t imagine…

Please hit reset…

Someone is mistaken…

Oh......

Lord……

I am shaken

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I know the rules

I have lived by them

I've been... the best person... I can be

~~*~~

And I am trying

But nothing seems to fit

I want... you to give him... back to me

~~*~~

I don’t have to think

I can’t live without

The life… of the love… you have taken

I am shaken

~~*~~

Lord, he is my child…
Oh... he is my son…
Could you change your mind…
Your will be undone…
I am begging you…
My heart has bled…
Giving you myself…
Take me instead…
He’s Sleeping…
Please let him awaken…
Oh……
Lord……
I am shaken

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
You sacrificed your greatest creation
Knowing he would be with you in time
And though I do believe, I will share the same
I’m not ready to relinquish mine
I know he will be cherished, but I'm breaking
Oh... I'm breaking...
I am shaken
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I know the rules
I have lived by them
I've been... the best person... I can be
~~*~~
And I am trying
But nothing seems to fit
I want... you to give him... back to me
~~*~~
I don’t have to think
I can’t live without
The life...of the love… you have taken
I am shaken
