I Came To Play

I couldn't manage the problems I laid on myself And it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody else So I finally surrendered it all brought down in despair I cried out for help and I felt a warm comforter there And I came to believe in a power much higher than I I came to believe that I needed help to get by In childlike faith I gave in and gave him a try And I came to believe in a power much higher than I Nothing worked out when I handled it all on my own And each time I failed it made me feel twice as alone Then I cried, "Lord there must be a sure and easier way For it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day" And I came to believe in a power much higher than I I came to believe that I needed help to get by In childlike faith I gave in and gave him a try And I came to believe in a power much higher than I Yes, I came to believe in a power much higher than I

As the night light burned on me, it was an easy task to confess That I buried the hatchet as if it was a law And she saw me digging the hole As the proximity principle burned in me I couldn't shut my mouth So I dug up the hatchet and saw it as a proof But he threw it right back in the hole I used to play that I was God How I lived in a bubble, high above No one could see me 'cause I was God No one could hold me 'cause I was God As the fever held my hand, I couldn't stand up in the crowd So I took the hatchet in my left hand And let the night light burn out I used to play that I was God How I lived in a bubble, high above No one could see me 'cause I was God No one could hold me 'cause I was God I used to play that I was God How I lived in a bubble, high above No one could see me 'cause I was God No one could hold me

When you're away I try to focus on things I need to do But my hands are shaking Cause I'm just mad about you When by myself I think of all that may or may not be true And I'm scared of falling Falling hard without you But then I see your smile And suddenly I feel stronger, I feel proud That's when I man up And girl, there's a thing I gotta say out loud You got my heart Baby, I know this time it's true So I came to love you And that's what I'm gonna do And I just hope Deep in your heart you feel it too Cause I came to love you And that's what I'm gonna do When we're apart I walk around all day with your name in my heart And I can't stop dreamin' The sweetest dreams about you I lay awake when you're not in my bed Because I can't get you out of my head And I feel so foolish The biggest fool without you But then I see your smile And all the sudden I'm happy, strong and proud That's when I man up (Man up) And girl, do you mind if I say this out loud You got my heart Baby, I know this time it's true So I came to love you And that's what I'm gonna do And I just hope Deep in your heart you feel it too Cause I came to love you And that's what I'm gonna do You have my heart Oh baby, I know this time it's true So I came to love you And that's what I'm gonna do And I just hope That deep in your heart you feel it too Cause I came to love you And that's what I'm gonna do Did you know? I was born to love you And that's what I'm gonna do Yeah! Now you know That I love to love you And that's what I'm gonna do
