Stalemate, like a dead weight, is holding me down
Am I going for the same excuse again?
Oh, I'm a death defier 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
