[Verse 1] Watching life unfold in shades of gray Shadows fall on choices I make each day Every meal, every drive, every borrowed ray Evil whispers softly, “you can’t look away” [Chorus] Take my evil away Take my evil away [Verse 2] Try to walk with care, avoid the darker way But intentions matter more than the price we pay Eating, breathing, living—all in the light of day Evil’s not in action, but the games we play [Chorus] Take my evil away Take my evil away [Bridge] In the mirror, conscience shows me where I stray Struggling with the burdens that I can’t allay Still I hope and pray at the end of day Peace arrives in learning to find my way [Chorus/Outro] Take my evil away Find some peace today
