For all I knew
It was all on me
Mine to live
Mine to do.
For all I knew
My faults all mine
Burdens borne
Penance due.
Now, now, now
Nothing’s the same
Now, now, now
It’s all on you.
Now, now, now
Could it be true?
Now, now, now
It’s all on you.
Could it be true?
My faults and shame
Don’t count for me-
They count for you.
Now, now, now
Nothing’s the same
Now, now, now
It’s all on you.
Now, now, now
Could it be true?
Now, now, now
It’s all on you.

Each new day a quest for why
Each new hour a search for me
Each new week the joys fly by
That’s how I used to be.
Each new day a lonely walk
Each new prayer from guilt to free
Each new thought of you so far
That’s how I used to be.
One day a glimpse so different
One distant died for me
My quest to earn and justify
That’s how I used to be.
The one I sought to please
My guilt to shed for good
Has done it all – already
His choice, his story told.
Now each new day – adventure
Forgiven is my theme
Purchased from my hopeless quest
That’s how I used to be.
And now your cross my answer
Your joy the call for me
So different from those distant days
That’s how I used to be.
