Can I wait when your mighty arms are all that’s holding me?
Can I wait when everything is crashing down on me?
When life is too much to bear will I stay there?

I saved this dance for you. I wore my finest suit.
I cleaned myself up and I memorized all the moves.
Oh how I long for this song to play forever and forever more.
Through it’s duration I live, and you’re the melody that I live for.

But the song ends, and so plays the all too familiar last note
Leading so gracefully into the song that only I wrote
Whisked away, now holding onto a memory of the song I once knew.
Complacent, yet remembering how I felt when I felt you.

I’m new. I’m frail. I’m fragile…
So impressionable, yet so hard to change.

Change me!
We watch this city burn down! We fight tonight to live before we die! Raise your fists afire!

Behind the Song:
'The continual battle that takes place inside: spirit vs. flesh. We desire so much with our hearts to serve God with everything, but we can be distracted in an instant and focused on our selfish nature again. The last phrase, 'Change me!' is simply a call for God's grace and power to transform us beyond what we can be in ourselves and lift us to the spiritual level where we need to be.' - Staple
