After tonight
Things won't be the same no more
Won't think about the pain no more
Shh, getting it right
Slippin' on the same old floors
Still steppin' the same old doors
Life different tonight
Thinkin' bout who you gon be
You see all of you in me
Yeah, I couldn't believe you
Still I couldn't leave ya
I was rollin' my weed up
Stressed out losing my sleep
Under covers tryna keep you from leaving
I was looking for Jesus!
Somewhere where the water could freeze ya
Just praying don't make a believer
Goddamnit, I need you
(Such a long way down here, tell me there's a way down here)
Goddamnit, I need you
(Such a long way down here, talk about the ways I fear)
Aye, we go back, we go forth
We come back again
It go up, we go down, ooh, back again
At the altar, at the altar
When I wanna get into your heart
I go up, I go forth, I go back again
It go up fallin' down
Coming back again
At the altar, at the altar
On my head, on my hands, on my heart
Praise the lord
Oh my God
Here we go!
Don't let detours destroy what's before you
Sacrifice the things soiled
Its C4
'cause your love and your love and your love and your trust
Is so much it saved my day
I bring the Sun up like suntrust the starlight the thunder
'cause I still see my fate
In the water
When I be looking for Jesus
And ain't nobody else gon believe this
But baby, I seen him
And I been feather and wingless
But I ain't never ever been dreamless
And that's what belief is
Sometimes you gotta swallow the pieces
Just so you can see what the seed is
In the water, ooh
Aye, we go back, we go forth
We come back again
It go up, we go down, ooh, back again
At the altar, at the altar
When I wanna get into your heart
I go up, I go forth, I go back again
It go up fallin' down
Coming back again
At the altar, at the altar
On my head, on my hands, on my heart
Praise the lord
Oh my God
Here we go!
