I thank the Lord for the gift of music,
When the times are heavy im so quick to use it,
Whether I'm soothing my soul or making my own
I hear the hurt the call I don't pick up the phone,
I stay alone cuz its easier to be afraid,
Than open up my heart and let you see the pain,
I wanna trust, but I don't wanna be ashamed,
I wanna love, but I don't wanna hurt again,
I want everybody to greet me with a serenade
But I wont let nobody make it through my barricade
Complex how it works, im so hurt,
See you can build wit me, but you go first,
See people will only definitely let you down,
I know this first hand, so I don't mess around
I been here before know how this game goes,
I close my eyes and try to let this pain go
Dont you wanna go
Dont you wanna go with me
Where we right our wrongs and release control and we lift our hands to be free
Don't you wanna go, Dont you wanna go with me
Simply put, life is not a crystal stare
More like a garden, and some of us got thistles there,
Can't grow, and our struggles we don't put em down,
But I know some body good enough to till the ground,
It's never easy to let the past fade away,
You don't forgive and the price is you stay the same,
Or even worse, you learn to run away from change,
Or even worse, you learn to just embrace pain,
You live in misery to keep from dealing with yourself,
Freedom isn't free, and yet its not for sale,
It takes hard work, to get up out of this
You gotta face it head on and that can be a risk,
But I would tell you take it... If I would give advice, its all I would say, just please live your life
Don't let world break you down and make you live in fear,
When you're tomorrow's right here.
Dont you wanna go
Dont you wanna go with me
Where we right our wrongs and release control and we lift our hands to be free
