Still waters run deep

Muddy waters wont keep

Love love it takes love

More than love is God above

Heaven knows its not enough

Cause this thing can be so rough

Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you

Cause still waters will run deep

If in you my faith I keep

This thing called love

(Love love it takes love)

I used to occasionally try my hand relationally

Obsessive with outside appearance and what I saw facially

What I had to have just didn't add up

Amount to much

Of what was revealed

Seein past they looks and such

The baggage piled up

Revealin' shine through

Feathers riled up

Emotions rev like a engine, engine

Then they drive up

Soon she jet,

I shoot for the exit myself

A quick outro

And im off for words like Guenith Paltro

Wanna be my soul mate

Muster up change

For the toll gate

The life I was chasin

When real I used to roll fake

With designed tate

The right thing I always did last

And like an outbreak

Everything caught up with me to fast

They cant stop me

Come out

Pure as gold and do I fold

Dismiss the latter

Then I embrace the promise told

I receive it

And with Christ like faith

I believe it

Pre destined

Manifested

I wanted to see it tested

(hook)

Still waters run deep (Love love it takes love More than love is God above)

Muddy waters wont keep (Heaven knows its not enough Cause this thing can be so rough)

Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you (makin sure my thing is right)

Cause still waters will run deep (we'll start a secret comes to life

If in you my faith I keep

This thing called love

As the sun rises daily

Im awaken

How do I begin

Dealin with the past

Guilty of sin

Though I know im not enslaved by his power

Deep inside my soul is free

But my mind reflects time and time again

Frustration

got me burnin from degrees of seperation

cause my knees put a distance in between a close relation

with my chidren

in a physical sense contact is limited

to often as possible

visits and phone conversations

Raise the fact

I know im only part of half of the blame

But in full I feel the shame

And that present

Its not the same

As when I was there

To give them names

And my presence was felt

To save the claim that I was dad

So often I feel sadness

Of the out come of the madness

With me and momma

Now we all face the drama

Through faith

Thank God for healin

Yes this price I must pay

Not a day goes by

I don't invision your face

Please forgive me

Hook 2x

Still waters run deep

Muddy waters wont keep

Hook 2x

Still waters run deep

Muddy waters wont keep

Making sure my thing is right

We'll start a secret comes to life

Hook

Love love it takes love

More than love is God above

Heaven knows its not enough

Cause this thing can be so rough

Tried and true when I keep my eyes on you

Cause still waters will run deep

If in you my faith I keep

This thing called love
