Song Lyrics

"Acquiesce"

by Ghoti Hook
Album: Songs We Didn't Write

Even now, your eyes are courting sleep,
I'll stay by your side, as I've always been,
Sleep tonight; may your dreams reveal my love for you,
Beyond what I must do, do you know my plans for you'

Separate myself from where my treasure lies,
Then naked in this cold and lonely, unforgiving life,
Be stripped away of all delusions of the man I'd like to be at the moment,
I am broken parts, sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show,
No illusions left to hide behind,
Burning clean has been both agony and absolute release,
Can I hope to pass this test'
Is my destiny this wilderness'

The hardest part of letting go is trusting you with everything,
Laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am,
Father, what is man that you are mindful of him'

Can I pass this test'
Is my destiny this wilderness'

To stand alone against a life of wretchedness, impossible to hope,
And so I plead your graciousness,
Show me your glory, may my life reflect your presence,
And never again find myself in anything less.

The hardest part of letting go is trusting you with everything,
Laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am,
Father, what is man that you are mindful'
