Goin' Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Waited so long, wishing it would come
Everything I hoped for, a new day a new sun
I Thought I had the world in my hand
But it slipped through my fingers like a grain of sand
Seasons change, sure as the wind blows
Pictures of life captured in my soul
if no one else at all, I should still stand tall
Even in despair, I got to try to walk on air
So what's really going on
Have I been down so long
Things just ain't the way I planned ( so get me out of this jam)
Something's going wrong with me
Like I lost my parachute at 10,000 feet
And I'm crashing to the ground
There's something going wrong with me
Hole in my boat in the middle of the sea
And I'm going down 2x
Rested my head on a cornerstone
It sent shivers straight through my bones
I'm a dead man walking to a metronome
Well I guess it's just me feelin' all alone
See I got me, but that's all I have
Search for the answers taking what I can grab
I lose my mind but it's easy to find,I'm goin' mad
It's like my enemies the hands of time ,And it's so sad
That time does fly like a bird in the sky
No life aint long like your favorite song
Yeah once I was strong but those days are gone
Believe me life aint easy when there's so much wrong
When the rain starts fallin and no good lucks
I'll keep goin' no I'll be stallin'
My body's on the ground but my soul is sinkin'
What's goin' on, I don't know I'll keep thinkin'
So what's really going on
Have I been down so long
Things just aint the way I planned( so get me out of this jam)
Something's going wrong with me
Like I lost my parachute at 10,000 feet
And I'm crashing to the ground
There's something going wrong with me
Hole in my boat in the middle of the sea
And I'm going down 2x
I was on the road with no directions'
Went the wrong way but I learned my lesson
There are no anwers or explanations
I was so lost I didn't know where I was
Yeah that's something confusion does
If I fall off track and can't find my way
And if you can't figure out the math ,
You can still make the grade....
