Started out this Sunday
On my face again pushing in
And wasn't it MC Hammer who said: "We have to pray just to make it through the day"
(Oh yeah)
I never get tired of believing You
I never get tired of trying to breakthrough
I just get tired of myself sometimes
Cus' you know that it's so easy to be human
It's so easy to make excuses
But the simple truth is I was too scared of intruding
These are peoples lives you're playing with he said
Every time you get a little bit scared
You let another one slip through the net he said
They need me more than you need to be comfortable
I said stop listening to your head
Oh and Listen to me
Your mind doesn't understand the things that I see
Next time next time next time listen to me
Because my voice should be louder than your reasoning, your reasoning
Those human things
Cus' if I don't go when you say go
If I don't speak when you say so
We might find that we run out of pace to see the world around us changed
If I don't move when you say move
Cus' I don't trust what you told me to do
It might never come around again
Heeeeey, next time I'll do it your way
You never know where the Spirit has been whispering at night
You never know where the angels have been putting up a fight
We cannot see with our own eyes
Everything is organised
We can only view when it's our turn to go
Switch on the lights!
Oh and Listen to me
Your mind doesn't understand the things that I see
Next time next time next time listen to me
Because my voice should be louder than your reasoning, your reasoning
Those human things
Cus' if I don't go when you say go
If I don't speak when you say so
We might find that we run out of pace to see the world around us changed
If I don't move when you say move
Cus' I don't trust what you told me to do
It might never come around again
Heeeeey, next time I'll do it your way
These are peoples lives you're playing with he said
Every time you get a little bit scared
You let another one slip through the net he said
They need me more than you need to be comfortable he said
Stop listening to your head
Cus' if I don't go when you say go
If I don't speak when you say so
We might find that we run out of pace to see the world around us changed
If I don't move when you say move
Cus' I don't trust what you told me to do
It might never come around again
Around again, around again
If I don't go when you say go
If I don't speak when you say so
We might find that we run out of pace to see the world around us changed
If I don't move when you say move
Cus' I don't trust what you told me to do
It might never come around again
Around again, around again
