Wish I Was Better

(Intro - Instrumental)

[Verse 1 – monorhyme (-ow)]
Sorry God, my faith is low,
I smile outside but You already know,
You said don’t bend to the shape of the world,
But I bend anyway, yeah, I bend to the flow.

I thought I knew who I was meant to be,
But the fight keeps getting the best of me,
Every lie sound close to reality,
When the dark feels louder than Your peace.

[Pre-Chorus]
This world been beating the good outta me,
Pressing my chest till I barely breathe,
Looking around for an easy release,
But every door feel locked to me.

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was better,
Yeah, I wish I was stronger
And oh, I wish I was smarter
Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, I wish I was better,
Yeah, I wish I was stronger
And oh, I wish I was smarter
Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, wish i was... wish i was...
Better

[Verse 2 – monorhyme (-ee)]
Thought I was better, thought I had growth,
Thought I was different, guess I just cope,
Turns out I’m scared, turns out I fold,
No better than the rest when I lose my hope.

I say I got faith but I barely speak,
Got prayers stuck halfway reaching free,
I know You got plans, yeah plans for me,
But they only work if I truly believe.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Please forgive me, my faith is low,
Please help me, ’cause I don’t know how,
Only thing I’m not afraid to say,
Is I’m scared right now.

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was better,
Yeah, I wish I was stronger
And oh, I wish I was smarter
Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, I wish I was better,
Yeah, I wish I was stronger
And oh, I wish I was smarter
Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, wish i was... wish i was...
Better

[Bridge – reflective / folk feel]
I read those legends from long ago,
Faith stood tall while the fear stayed close,
I ask myself with a shaking soul,
“How’d they stand when the dark was bold?”

Wish I was strong like the words I read,
Wish my trust didn’t shake like this,
But here I stand with an open chest,
Still hoping grace ain’t done with me yet.

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was better,
Yeah, I wish I was stronger
And oh, I wish I was smarter
Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, I wish I was better,
Yeah, I wish I was stronger
And oh, I wish I was smarter
Oh, I wish i had more to offer

Oh, wish i was... wish i was...
Better
