You Give Us

lyrics

YOU GIVE US
 
Sometime I get so sick of this life
Sometimes I think I must be losing my mind
Sometimes I wonder why I even still try
World leaves me struggling for more air every time
Been taking chances with my life
Just silly chances wonder how I get by
So I keep trying to indulge in this world
An excessive cold and lonely ole void to be hurled
 
Chorus:
You give us this life, you give us this world
You give us each a short time on this earth
But only you know how things are gonna turn
You give us a choice, you give us your word
 
Been Having problems with my soul
Four way stops and don’t know which way to go
So I go down each road halfway and turn back
I end up nowhere always lost in my tracks
Been taking chances with my youth
Tried to take the edge off with smoke and booze
But I took the edge off so many times
That I’m smooth and shapeless till you can’t recognize
 
Chorus
 
But there’s a man in a stained robe up in the air
A woman with a child in need of a room and an inn
Do we believe, this time will we really care
Or will we do it all the same again
 
Chorus
 
Sometimes I get so sick of this life
Sometimes I think I must be losing my mind
Sometimes I wonder why I even still try
Lord come back quickly why there’s still time
