I Need You Lord - Newfound Road

(Lord, I need You to wrap Your arms around me) Wrap your arms around with Your mercy (Lord, I need You to wrap Your arms around me) I give up on doin' things my way (And tell me everything is going to be alright, Lord) When you said give me a ring, you really meant a ring, huh? Turned out to be more than just a fling, huh? Three hours to get back from Palm Springs, huh? Who you know spend an hour in Walgreens, huh? You know you'll always be my favorite prom queen Even when we in dad shoes, or mom jeans Too many complaints made it hard for me to think Would you shut up? I can't hear myself drink We used to do the freak like seven days a week It's the best collab since Taco Bell and KFC, uh Talk to me nicely, don't come at me loud You had a Benz at 16, I could barely afford an Audi How you gonna try to say sometimes it's not about me Man, I don't know what I would do without me Billionaire sport, step up to the court They rented a room, we bought the resort God got me, baby, God got the children The devil run the playground, but God own the buildin' Time went silence, a luxury Cussin' at your baby momma, guess that's why they call it custody God got us baby, God got the children The devil run the playground, but God own the buildin' Time and space is a luxury But you came here to show that you still in love with me Startin' to feel like you ain't been happy for me lately, darlin' 'Member when you used to come around and serenade me, woah (And tell me everything is going to be alright, Lord) But I guess it's gone different in a different direction lately Tryna do the right thing with the freedom that you gave me (Wheezy outta here) Your gun off safety, speak first don't break me (And tell me everything is going to be alright, Lord) Harsh words, you're angry Lord, don't take me, oh, oh (Lord, I need You to wrap Your arms around me) Wrap your arms around with your mercy (Lord, I need You to wrap Your arms around me) I give up on doin' things my way (And tell me everything is going to be alright, Lord) (Wheezy outta here)

Can't find a place, which feels like home Can't find a room, where I'm all alone Can't find the words to write about Can't find a place, where I won't be found. I'm longing for the road I'm longing for a road sweet road I'm longing for a road My road sweet road. Can't find a sign, which warns me on time Can't find a stop, that will push the rewind Can't find the lights, that will keep me slow Can't find any help, while my engine is running low. I'm longing for the road I'm longing for a road sweet road I'm longing for a road My road sweet road.

I said "I want to change it Because it's wrong I want to change it Because I believe it can be better" The voice said to me "What makes you think that U are man enough to change anything?" I thought for awhile, and then I spoke out loud, and I said to it, I said... "Because I am a man and I am a part of the things that are wrong!!! And if this world must go on, I have to put it right! And I know just by lookin' at you, baby, that you're superior to me And you can help me give me the answers! Give me some answers!!!" She turned around to me and you know what she said She said "I can help you but there's something I want from U is a gift In return for the information I can give. I want a gift from you, I want a gift from you" I tried my very best to look up to the sky And then I realized I had no eyes, I was blind, totally blind!!! I begin to get afraid, afraid of the dark I was afraid, afraid in the darkness But then I thought about my friends who have no eyesight I thought about the world they live in and how much it's nice there How good it made me feel I was not afraid I was not afraid anymore I spoke up louder!!! I said "Listen, you've got my eyesight There isn't much more I can give! Now tell me how do I change it?" The voice said back..."Oh yes there is! We want something more than your eyesight!" I thought for a while And I thought "What more could she want than my eyes?" And then the terrible feeling crept over me As I began to realize that I understood what she was talkin' 'bout I screamed out loud! I said "I'm not-a-give up my life! I'd love to give you my life, but I'm just a young man And I have a wife, I have a wife and a baby And if I die, I know they'll cry, so please don't take my life" Then I heard my wife say, "It's all right baby, I understand Go ahead and do your thing!" There was nowhere I could run I heard my father say "I understand son Go ahead and give it, it's yours to give." Then I heard my mother say the same thing. She said "Go ahead and give it away, I gave to you And now it's yours to give to someone else!!" I was lost, I was lost No place to run no place to hide, no place to run no place to hide I felt it, I knew it I could sense it, I could feel it creepin' up from the tips of my toes Up my legs, over my knees, up over my belly 'Cross my chest, the black shadow of death No place to run, run to, no place to hide So I just laid there and I died, died, died, darkness, stillness C) TOBACCO ROAD - Part Two But it's gotta be change, yes it has!
