Goliath
©2007 Lisa Horan

It greets me in the morning
Taunting me and jeering
Like a bully in the schoolyard
Waiting for my melt down
Expecting me to breakdown
From my anxiety

It permeates my every thought
And toys with my emotions
Like a bad dream stuck on replay
Pushing me towards the brink
Assuming that I'll shrink
From the pressure

Pre-Chorus
I can't fight it
I can't hide from it
But I know that you can help me
To break free

Chorus
From my Goliath
My Goliath
The problem that‘s too big for me
To quiet, to quiet

Will you help me
Help me
Take up my stone and pierce it
So I can be free, be free

I'm too weak
But you give me the strength
To conquer
My Goliath

It nags me through the daytime
Reminding me of my failures
That prevent me from achieving
Wanting me to cave in
Forcing me to give in
To my insecurities

It follows me where I go
Assuring me I'm no good
For anything or anyone
Hoping that I'll buy it
Knowing I'll apply it
To my reality

I can't fight it
I can't hide from it
But I know that you can help me
To break free

Chorus

Bridge
I cannot
Drag this ball and chain anymore
I'm giving it to you
‘Cause I know you can restore

I'm helpless
To defeat this on my own
I need you
To deliver me from

Chorus
