Where Do I Go From Here?, by J-Hood
|
You see i've been there and done that
To the ends of the earth and come back
I've seen poverty i've seen pain
I've seen 3yr old children with nothing to gain
I've stared death in the face more than twice
I've felt the cold tip of a blade try an take my life
I've seen hate first hand from all colors and creeds
I've seen a deaf man follow a blind mans lead
I've seen mothers starve with famlies to feed
I've seen men living lavish buying more than they need
I've seen young men dieand old men live
I've seen people take from others who had nothing to give
My eyes grow tired from all i've seen
My eyes are weak and my soul it grieves
Is there no one who can stop this pain
And end the torment of all lifes games
(LORD)
You've called to me and i'll ansewer my son
You've seen alot but your eyes are young
Give me your hand and i'll show you things
I'll show you life and the joy it brings
For if you decide to keep the faith
I'll open the doors to heavens gate
(ME)
Faith in the lord shall set you free
Faith in the lord helped me find me
