Stalemate, like a dead weight, is holding me down, Am I going for the same excuse again? Oh, I'm a d**h deifier on a high wire, The wind is jerking me around, And, Jesus, stay my balance every step along the way, Knowing that I'm bound to fall one day. Release me, release me and let the Spirit flow, Release me from this violent vertigo, Oh, my Lord, release me, release me in all that you can be, Release me, oh, my Lord, release me. (release, release, release me) Uptight in the spotlight - it's closing me in, A victim of the dreaded same routine, Oh, I'm a cool dude with an attitude, The image wearing ever thin, And, God, I don't know why I ever tried to be a star, Without you, I could not have come so far. Release me, release me and let your Spirit flow, Release me from this careless cameo, Oh, my Lord, release me, release me in all that you can be, Release me, oh, my Lord, release me. Release me, release me and let the Spirit flow, Release me from the fire that burns below, Oh, my Lord, release me, release me in all that you can be, Release me, oh, my Lord, release me, (release, release, release me) Oh, my Lord, release me, release me and let the Spirit flow, Release me from the fire that burns below, Oh, my Lord, release me, release me in all that you can be, Release me, oh, my Lord, release me, (release, release, release me) Oh, my Lord.
