Envy
Overcoming Envy and Jealousy: Embracing Humility and Love
Lyrics
I don't want to get caught up in the middle
Desire to avoid being stuck in a conflict
Don't want to think these thoughts
Unwillingness to entertain negative thoughts that drag others down
That pull pull others down
Acknowledgment of thoughts causing negativity
I see where I've been treading lately
Realization of recent actions or paths
And I'm not proud
Not feeling proud of recent behavior
Oh envy get behind me
Desire to overcome feelings of envy
Jealousy don't walk beside me
Request to avoid being accompanied by jealousy
I wash my hands of your control
Rejecting the control of envy and jealousy
Wash my hands of your control
Reiteration of rejecting envy and jealousy's control
Oh I don't want to be living in a glass house
Aversion to living a life constantly compared to others
Of comparison
Feeling burdened by comparisons
One day I'm up
Fluctuating between highs and lows
One day I am down
Experiencing both good and bad days
So keep my head level and humbly
Desire to remain humble and steady
Stay the course, run the race, even paced
Commitment to maintaining consistency in life
Oh envy get behind me
Repeated desire to overcome envy
Jealousy don't walk beside me
Request for jealousy to stay away
I wash my hands of your control
Rejecting the influence of envy and jealousy
Wash my hands of your control
Reaffirming rejection of envy and jealousy's control
Oh envy get behind me
Continued desire to overcome feelings of envy
Jealousy don't walk beside me
Request for jealousy not to be present
I wash my hands of your control
Rejecting the control of envy and jealousy
Wash my hands of your control
Reiteration of rejecting envy and jealousy's control
Live on knees
Living in humility and submission
Breathe and be
Emphasizing the importance of breathing and being present
Held in hands
Feeling protected and cared for
Know I'm loved
Acknowledgment of being loved immensely
Almightily
Recognition of being loved by a higher power
Live on knees
Living in humility and submission
Breathe and be
Emphasizing the importance of breathing and being present
Held in hands
Feeling protected and cared for
Know I'm loved
Acknowledgment of being loved immensely
Almightily
Recognition of being loved by a higher power
Oh envy get behind me
Desire to overcome feelings of envy
Jealousy don't walk beside me
Request for jealousy to stay away
I wash my hands of your control
Rejecting the influence of envy and jealousy
Wash my hands of your control
Reaffirming rejection of envy and jealousy's control
Oh envy get behind me
Continued desire to overcome feelings of envy
Jealousy don't walk beside me
Request for jealousy not to be present
I wash my hands of your control
Rejecting the control of envy and jealousy
Wash my hands of your control
Reiteration of rejecting envy and jealousy's control
