Pour rocket fuel on my grandest dreams And burn the whole thing down
They compete for my affections So raze them to the ground
Empty out my passions 'til my heart has room for you
Then plant your will inside me plant your will inside me
Plant your will inside me So it's all I want to do
Write your word upon my heart sing your song inside my soul
Fill my head with thoughts of you make my broken spirit whole
Distract me from my hollow thoughts with what's good and pure and true
My old self needs to die before My old self needs to die before
My old self needs to die before Your love can make me new
I don't need vain accomplishments I don't need fame or health
I don't need worldly accolades I don't need gold and wealth
I don't need anything I'd gain by what I do
All I need to really live All I need to really live
All I need to really live is all I've found in you
Empty out my passions 'til my heart has room for you
Then plant your will inside me plant your will inside me
Plant your will inside me So it's all I want to do
