I try to walk the straight and narrow. But I stumble on the way. And take roads that lead me places. Where I cannot see Your face. . And in my feeble mind.
Like pennies in a wishing well. I try but I can never tell. Where this winding road of life. Will lead tomorrow. . But in between the how and why. The questions of the days gone by.
So quick to anger. And so rarely slow to speak. My best intentions. Pick the worst of times to leave. . Lord, make me stronger. Help me stand up to the test.
I was late for work, had to pull to the side. While a funeral train of cars drove by with their lights on. It was just my luck, it went on and on for miles.
In the middle of the turbulence surrounding you. These trying times that are so hard to endure. In the middle of what seems to be your darkest hour. Hold fast your heart and be assured.
Everybody's reachin' for somethin'. Every day a pullin' and tuggin'. And always wantin' a little more. Holdin' on to hurt like an anchor. . Treatin' those we love like strangers.
So you had yourself a bad break. I know that you're feeling down about it. Seems like the sun just went out today. But there's blue sky hiding out. It may not seem like it now but.
If it weren't for You Lord, I don't know where I'd be.. I could fill the hours but never fill the need.. I would still be searching, looking for the truth,.
This ain't as hard as I thought it would be. It's harder. It's just the sound of nobody but me. For starters. . I didn't know, I didn't know it all. Didn't see the fine print written on the wall?.
Big fake snowflakes hanging from the streetlights. Marsh mellow children bundled up real tight. Short fuses, long lines, so much for a silent night. Then magically we all wake up.
I wish you lived on the corner where I live. So I could look at you all the day long. Lickety lip got me flippin' my lid, yeah. Nibblin' my thumb 'cause I want me some.
If it weren't for You Lord, I don't know where I'd be. I could fill the hours, but never fill the need. I would still be searching looking for the truth.
You keep closing your eyes. Trying to ignore it, hoping it'll disappear. Face to face with your own Goliath. At least that's how it looks from here. All the stones you can throw won't scare it away.
