Verse 1:
I was just taking off, headed for the skyline
The fine looking place that I was jetting for was my time
It was like I might spit a tight rhyme, right?
Then I’d go from dark nights to the lime light
All my life I wanted to be equal
But in your sight, I’d always be beneath you
So when it finally came to my turn
You were hoping that I’d crash and burn
But I didn’t, instead I started to soar
Gravity just couldn’t hold me anymore
You got jealous, you wanted all the glory
Couldn’t bear the thought of this being my story
Well I’m sorry that you never understood
I gave you the kind of love that a brother would
But you just let your anger churn
You had to see me crash and burn
So you decided to attack, you went on the offensive
My world going black was all you needed for incentive
Your hatred is extensive it makes you hypertensive
Blinded to the fact the price you’re paying is expensive
Just let live, but no, you’d rather die
Than let me be the one with the chance to fly
So you blast my ship from bow to stern
Making sure that I would crash and burn
Now you got what you wanted, right?
But you’re still not satisfied
You’re just so filled with spite
That you’ve got to fuel your pride
So you try to make everyone hate me
Get ‘em all on your side
Lesson learned, no such thing as friend
Crashed and burned, but I’ll rise again

Chorus:
Yeah I’m heading off to war
The whole world’s against me
I tried to show love
But all they did was tempt me
Said they’d always be there
But now my corner’s empty
It seems hopeless
It seems hopeless

Verse 2:
So now I’m building from the ground up
Enemies are all around but
I won’t let ‘em keep me down ‘cuz
There’s a way that I have found
The sound when our hearts find peace
When we’re found to be drowning it brings release
Though you’re waiting with the urn
Never again will I crash and burn
I’ll just keep on persevering
‘Cuz I know the end is near and
Even though you’re all still sneering
Never has my purpose been clearer
I need to pray for my enemies, frienemies, sea
anemones and my neighbours
Seek God’s favour ’till He returns
When sin and death are gonna crash and burn
Bind up the brokenhearted giving them a garland
The Lord is faithful to finish what He started
Freedom to the guarded, liberty to captives
God’s Holy Spirit is the only one that gives
Renewed strength to keep up the pace
The courage we need just to finish this race
Mercy and grace I could never earn
Means I may crash, but I’ll never burn
So we worship in spirit
Knowing that our God will hear it
When He’s with us there fear in our hearts
Even though it’s clear that we are
Trapped in a world full of vengeance
While heading down a path that will lead to repentance
We know in the end it’s safe, in the light we learn
That the darkness’ll crash and burn
