Verse 1
We own all the choices
Each keening rue that haunts us
We sort our own garbage
To save what might last
Sometimes in the wreckage
We find our own mind
Chorus
We end up recycling our faults
Poor choices we left in tatters
This junk makes us forget
To walk in newness of life
Is to know our own mind
Is to know our own mind
Is to know our own mind
Bridge
To ask the inner you
Why we follow the thew
In all we do
To learn it's damn unkind
Not to take the time
To even know our own mind
Outro
Go now …
Burn down the dumps of despair
There in the refuse we all find
What truly matters
Is to know our own mind
Is to know...
Is to know...
Is to know our own mind
