Talking
Please give me the strength I need to live...
Bear with me
Amen

We each walk the paththat we ve chosen

Chorus
I m ready to meet him
We re I m living ain t right
Black hate whit
White hate black
It s right back
To the same fight
They got us suspecting a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the lord

Lordyou left me stranded
And I don t know why
Told me to live my life
Now I m ready to die
Ready to fly
I crybut I shed no tears
You told me you would dead those fearsit s been years
Snakes still coming at me
Just missing
Sometimes I think all you doing me is just listen
I thought that I was special
Thats what you told me
Hold me
Stop acting like you don t know me
What d I do so bad that it sent you away from me
Not only sent you awaybut made you stay away from me
(My child I m hereas I ve always beenit was you who went away
And now are back againwhat did I say?)
Follow your wordand be true
(What did you do?)
Well:what I wanted to do...
(What have you seen?)
Darkness and hell at a glance
(What do you want?)
All I want is another chance

Chorus

(Just because you went awaymy doors are not lockedwanna come back homeall you gotta do is knock)
Ya seeI left home a boyI returned as a man
Full grownand I m still not able to stand
(I gave you a hand)
Well...but I was looking the wrong way
Figured out the planthen I started to pray
And that prayertook me from here to over there
Back to over here
Now they got me like where?
Do I belong?
Do I fit in?
Things on my mindwhere do I begin?
It s easier to sinbut it hurts my heart
I m really tryin to winso where do we start?
(Thou shall not steal)
Butwhat if he stole from me?
(Thou shall not kill)
But what if he s tryin to kill me?
(Thou shall nottake myname in vainno matter how hard it rainswithstand the pain)

Chorus

Our fatherwho art in heaven
I m not ashamed to ask for guidanceat 27
No longer afraid to knock on your door
Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war
After what I just sawI m ridin with the lord
Cause I really can t afford to lose my head by the sword
And now that I ve seenwhat I need to see
Please take mewhere I need to be
(What have you learned?)
It s better to tell the truth than to lie
(What have you learned?)
To love my life until I die
(What have you learned?)
Violence isn t always the key
(What have you learned?)
You can t always believe what you see
(What have you learned?)
It s better to forgive and forget
(What have you learned?)
Give as you expect to get
(What have you learned?)
That I can t go on without you
(What have you learned?)
I musta been a fool to ever doubt you

Chorus

I m ready to meet him
