the day that i found god

Switchfoot

[Verse 1]
The morning comes like an enemy soldier
I feel the weight across my shoulders
I feel the shadows getting colder
But that ain t you

This noose ain t getting any looser
I get so fearful about the future
I hear the shame of my accuser
But that ain t you

[Chorus]
I found strength but it wasn t what I thought
I found peace in the places I forgot
I found riches ain t the things that I had bought
I found out
The day I lost myself was the day that I found God

[Verse 2]
I get caught chasing my own illusions
I get so lost in these confusions
I keep on looking for my own solutions
But that ain t you, that ain t you no

[Chorus 2]
My enemies weren t the ones I had fought
My liberties weren t the freedoms I had sought
What I learned weren t the lessons I d been taught
I found out the day I lost myself was
The day that I found God

[Verse 3]
Where is God out in the darkness?
Cause the voices in my head ain t talking honest
They re saying maybe you made us then forgot us
But that ain t you, that ain t you no

[Chorus 3]
And all I know is that I still don t know a lot
I don t know how it ends I m in the middle of this plot
Yeah and I found grace for the man that I am not
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
Yeah, I found out
The day I lost myself was the day that I found God
