In My Skin Songtext
von Colton Venner

Seems I′m always praying time away
The moment that it's gone I′m wishing that it stayed
Tomorrow is the sweetest of things
But every time it comes around, another one it brings
The grass is greener, on the other side,
But step over these fences and you'll find the grass has died
So when I'm waking up at ninety,
With my whole life behind me, knowing that my time is wearing thin
And after all my precious days I′ll be
Terribly afraid, still I won′t be happy in my skin


It's happened now at least a time or two,
Counting down the day and crying when they′re through,
Fades away when me and Jesus talk,
But in the opposite direction I always seem to walk

Now I'm a wanderer, with a feeble mind,
Knowing all the answers, forgetting all the time

So when I′m waking up at ninety with my whole life behind me,
Knowing that my time is wearing thin,
And after all my precious days I'll be
Terribly afraid that still I won′t be happy in my skin

The years roll by like seconds now
Lord please help me figure out how the world was meant now to be seen
Sometimes I forget to pray,
Maybe this could help explain why I always bite the hand that feeds

So when I'm waking up at ninety,
With my whole life behind me knowing that my time is wearing
Thin, and after all my precious day I'll be terribly afraid...


So help me to be happy in my skin
