Arrogance grows in a comfortable mind,
Seeds of deceit weave a kudzu of strangling vine, while the careless look away,
Fears that are faced become flowers of hope,
These are the lessons I learned several lessons ago, oh, but still I look away,
Still, I turn away.
And there I go again, stumbling into the same old sin,
I said...there I go again, instead of clinging to you,
I do what I know not to do,
Oh, help me Lord, there I go again.
There I go again.
Feeling secure in a castle of sand, built on the teachings, the wealth, and the power of man, while the tide is rolling in,
A fool, in his folly, pretends to be strong,
Trusting the treasure of earth, he can only go wrong,
And the tide keeps rolling in, and his castle is caving in.
And there I go again, stumbling into the same old sin,
I said...there I go again, instead of clinging to you,
I do what I know not to do,
Oh, help me Lord, there I go again.
Ooh, there I go again,
Ooh, there I go,
There I go again.
I'm still, I look away,
Still, I turn away,
I keep rejecting the truth, refusing reproof,
Repaying the dues of my reckless youth,
While you died just to prove all the promises true...
To the ones who need you as much as I need you.
There I go again, stumbling into the same old sin,
I said...there I go again, instead of clinging to you,
I do what I know not to do,
Oh, help me Lord, and there I go again.
There I go again,
Ooh, there I go,
There I go again,
There I go again,
There I go.
