I'm searching for you For your story I try to find you in pictures Pursuing you through music But for every door in my mind That I open, hoping to find What I think you should be My faith slips a little further Off my fingers I'm losing my grip and my desire To find you Because I'm realizing That what I think you should be Might not be the best you you can be And the more I think about it The more I want to give up Move on Let you go Folded in a black memory Bearing the label "A Star I Couldn't Reach" I just want you to be your best But I'm the one who is not Best enough to forge you thus And I would be tortured shou

Jesus pie! It's free! It's delicious! But no matter how good it is Some people just don't want any Jesus pie. They choose instead To go into Life's kitchen And concoct their own dessert.
