Beneath The Surface

Why do you hit me?

You know I ain't your punchin' bag

Since when do thorns try to hurt the roses?

And why are you always mad?

I'm so innocent, and you're so ignorant

Raise your fist hit or miss

Try to take my happiness

Well that ain't happenin' to me no more

CHORUS:

Cause I, I, I found a loving father

And I, I, I'm gonna fly away

To a place where I can smile and cry

Cause I know I'm gonna make it today yeah

Said I know I'm gonna make it today

I woke up this mornin'

As I wiped the sleep from my eyes

Got a reall good feelin' yeah

For the first time I had no reason to cry

So I said my Father Lord thanks for the changin'

my life

Lord thanks for holdin' me showing what real

love is like

Cause you're so true to me

So I try to be true to you

You love me when no one even carred for me

So I can face the rain and smile again

What's the bottle for, and why are you so mad?

I thought that mama said you're supposed to

be our loving dad

But alcohol done took control of your life

Now you do the same and try to take control

of your wife and kids

So I'm gon' speak up cause they can't face their fears

Take a look in the mirror, MJ says change

your ways to see clearer

God says there's always a way out

Ain't no temptation that ain't played out

Since the beginnin' of time Satan's been

roamin' the earth

Trying to tempt the weak willed to hate and hurt

And since sins birth, I know you're lives been hard

You need to stop beating us and start beating

your problems

So today is when we stop the hurt

Get up its 10 o' clock yo we're goin' to church

CHORUS
