Trevor Morgan Album: Wonderlight Track: All About Me
All About Me Lyrics
By Trevor Morgan, Years Later Music (ASCAP) / Goodwin Trev Music (ASCAP) and John Mallory, Spin Cycle Music (ASCAP) administered by The Loving Company
These X-ray eyes can see the heart of her intent And they can read between the lines and know what she meant Yet I find these eyes go blind when I look at who I am
But it's all about me Not somebody else Help me to see The truth when I look at myself If I'm to change If I'm to break free It can't be about them It's all about me
Beyond these sacred walls the world lies in decay You say we're salt and light but no one lives that way Three fingers aiming back at me as I try to point the blame
Cause it's all about me Not somebody else Help me to see The truth when I look at myself If I'm to change If I'm to break free It can't be about them It's all about me It can't be about them It's all about me
The only heart that I can change Is beating in my chest
It's all about me Not somebody else Help me to see The truth when I look at myself If I'm to change If I'm to break free It can't be about them It's all about me Not somebody else Help me to see The truth when I look at myself If I'm to change If I'm to break free It can't be about them It's all about me
Story Behind The Song: Have you ever read a self-help book and asked yourself, "Man, I know just who needs to read this?"
How about heard a sermon and thought, "Gosh, I wish Hector would have heard that?" (I assure you, Hector is entirely fictional...the name has been changed to protect the innocent)
Well, if you said "yes" then you're a lot like me. I'm great at finding fault in other people, but terrible at seeing my own flaws.
This song is the first step in pulling that plank out of my eye and focusing the microscope of the gospel back where it belongs - squarely on my own heart.
