"The Offer"

I was in love
I was in love with what I had
I had no need
For any one, only any thing
I was in love
I was alone

I was in deep
Voices, they'd creep
Into my mind
Dividing me, dividing line
I was alone
I wasn't fine

But then you offered me something better
Something better than I'd ever had
Yeah, you offered me something better
And now I can never go back

I was in love
I was in love with what I had
A brand new purpose
No more tears or suffering
I wasn't fine
But that was all right

I was accepted
I was accepted for once in my life
I was different
Broken to pieces, bare
But that was all right
Because you were my light

When you offered me something better
Something better than I'd ever had
Yeah, you offered me something better
And now I can never go back

I was in churches
I was in churches all of my life
I was rejected
Discouraged but I held on tight
Because you were my light
My heart was right

They wore me down, it came like rain
We're family, but not the same
The pieces that don't fit get washed away

There's many types, but that's all right
We sing with people locked outside
In harmony, in dissonance, I cried

My heart was right
But where was the light

I told them I don't see a difference
I'm as lonely as I was before
They said they had nothing to offer
That's not what you bring yourself for

But then I thought back to the altar
When I traded what I had for more
I gave you all I had to offer
You offered me an open door

Into a home
I'd never known
I wasn't alone
Because you offered me hope
