Piercing

Song byKaty Perry

in AlbumKaty Hudson

Living in fear

Is not what you had

In mind for me

But holding to you

Is so hard

I cling to what I see

In a world where my emotions

Seem to rule my every move

They will challenge my devotion

To seek and know the truth

You're piercing me

This self will bleed

You're killing all

Of my securities

Lord, help me see the reality

That all I'll ever need is You

Here in this haze a distant light

Seems to draw me near

But in the shadow of my doubt

My faith just disappears

In a world where my emotions

Seem to rule my every move

They will challenge my devotion

To seek and know the truth

You're piercing me

This self will bleed

You're killing all

Of my securities

Lord, help me see the reality

That all I'll ever need is you

You're piercing me

This self will bleed

You're killing all

Of my securities

Lord, help me see the reality

That all I'll ever need is you

You're piercing me

This self will bleed

You're killing all

Of my securities

Lord, help me see the reality

That all I'll ever need is you

You're piercing me

This self will bleed

You're killing all

Of my securities

Lord, help me see the reality

That all I'll ever need is you
