Nothing is forever
And life has no fairy-tales
Don't think I'll ever
Understand the details
Of this imperfect life

I never expected easy
Stumbling on cryptic foundation
Breathing is uneasy
I could use a vacation
From this imperfect life

Take me to a sheltered land
Where imperfections are perfections
Where fear doesn't shake my bones
And life isn't a belonging election
Where comfort holds my hand
And love is all that's known
Take me to a land of perfection

Scars upon my skin
No one would dare to touch
Could I be seen from within
But I'm all too much
For this imperfect life

Shoes always walk away
That's the way it goes
No one's meant to stay
All of it really blows
Imperfect world imperfect life

Take me to a sheltered land
Where imperfections are perfections
Where fear doesn't shake my bones
And life isn't a belonging election
Where comfort holds my hand
And love is all that's known
Take me to a land of perfection

I could drop down and cry
Give up admit defeat
But I'll continue to try
Stand even if I'm weak
Fight this imperfect life

Not looking for happy endings
Gonna keep striving
Through new beginnings
Keep myself believing
My worth in an imperfect life

Take me to a sheltered land
Where imperfections are perfections
Where fear doesn't shake my bones
And life isn't a belonging election
Where comfort holds my hand
And love is all that's known
Take me to a land of perfection

There's no sheltered land
Loving imperfection is perfection
Fight fear from breaking bones
And life will always be a belonging election
Faith will hold onto your hand
Love from within will be known
Beauty's in a land of imperfection
