Its been a long time coming
Since I saw your face
Since we held it down
Since we were in the chase
It was the road less traveled
The path less formed
A skinny trail
It was barely worn
But we kept on walkin’ and slippin’ and talkin’ and runnin’ and fallin’ and cryin’ and crawlin’
We were in the trenches
On top of the world
Young refugees but we were mommas pearls
Where you been dog? Where you been?
Start it up
Turn it on
We can ride this storm
A grip of hope in our hands
For the coming dawn
Up to our necks in complexities
Causing us to pause
As we collect our thoughts
So don’t blink if you wanna come cross the border
Take a look around or come test the water
We won’t stop ’till we see the morning
So welcome to the quiet before the storm hits
Man I wanna tell ya’ll something, Man.
Man I’m not gonna let these material thing’s, get in my way, ya’ll.
I’m trying to get somewhere.
I’m trying to get somewhere,
Thats real and pure and true and eternal.
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
Why’s it always circumstantial?
Never any real potential
Obvious and so sequential
It always ends the same
Holding out with all that’s in me
Is it worth all this pretending?
A story with an ugly ending it’s never worth the pain
So right here and now I am all in
I’ve been around the way
I’ve been around the block
I got the keys to the city if the gates are locked
And a freak like me ain’t ’bout to stop
I got a hand full of dreams and a heart full of God
Everywhere we go they wonder where we’re from
Well it’s diverse city y’all welcome to come
It sits high on a hill you can see it for days
And even if you can’t you can hear our praise
We go…
Verse 1
The dream is fading, now I’m staring at the door
I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain’t feelin what I see
It’s no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for?
What became of the flame that made me feel more?
And when did i forget that…
You got me feeling so fly
There ain’t a day that goes by
A supernatural high
(Oh my goodness – people I can’t deny)
You got me feeling so fly
Uh oh, here we go again
Talking about that thing that so genuine
Uh huh, gonna make it known
So a freak like me get his cover blown
Can’t help but glorify my Adonai
Gotta testify
Uh oh, here we go again
Talking bout His love so genuine
VERSE 1:
Say His Name within the darkest hour
And see His light illuminate our path
The road is narrow but our gaze is set
On the love of Christ ‘til the very end
VERSE 2:
We walk in the truth that overcame our sin
Leaving our past and how we once had lived
Giving our lives to see
Your Name made known
‘Cause the love of Christ is what the world needs most
