Lyrics
Young soul leaving home all alone, set a sail on this trip called life. Alone with your newfound freedom, no folks saying wrong or right. Now you're dealing with your newfound crew, you got a swag like them young boys do. You stop praying and you wanna cut loose, now forgetting everything that your faith brought you. Everything is cool, smooth sailing, suddenly things start failing. Your crew jumps ship, all your friends start bailing, alone in the dark, and now you're begging. Oh Lord, I need you now. Oh Lord, please help me out. I don't wanna be the one who lonely, praise when times are rough. Quiet, begging Lord, please console me and let me feel your love. If I really truly love this purely, I don't buy it much. I will follow everything he told me, he should've stayed in touch. Our Lord is full of mercy, so the storm he clears away. One call's eventually, but the spirit wears away. Everything is once again the same, no time to reflect on why you're here. He asked too much, too much you claim, it's your life and now you wish you'd stay. Suddenly now this trip's cut short, and your short little voyage is so lame. So lost, you try to call your Lord, hoping now he's gonna be your friend. Oh Lord, forgive me my sins. Oh Lord, please let me in. I don't wanna be the one who lonely, praise when times are rough. Quiet, begging Lord, please console me and let me feel your love. If I really truly love this purely, I don't buy it much. I will follow everything he told me, he should've stayed in touch. Our Lord doesn't need our prayers, we need him. We know that he always has, but we just don't think it's to our detriment. We stay out of touch, he's sobering up to say, he's trying to wake us up. Cause faith is a miracle, when it's there full time. I'ma pray on the regular, through rain or shine. Through rain or shine. Through rain or shine. I don't wanna be the one who lonely, praise when times are rough. Quiet, begging Lord, please console me and let me feel your love. If I really truly love this purely, I don't buy it much. I will follow everything he told me, he should've stayed in touch. One, two, three, four, people praying in the room. Soon when I play, no delaying. Cut through the stress of the day like a bayonet. Darkness, therapist, everybody's safe. Stress, anxiety, making people overdose. Taking all these remedies, just to end up comatose. Where is the therapy that no one knows? If you do it right, it's like you're chilling in the polka nose. I be feeling stress free, calling on my Lord and I'm praying he will bless me. Flesh, won't miss no mental in the life. Keep in touch in good times and stay away from crazy. Can't be blessed when I don't stop meditating, supplicating, calling on the most high. I call the line anytime cause it's close by. His peace of mind, yeah, his presence won't just go, try. I don't wanna be the one who lonely, praise when times are rough. Quiet, begging Lord, please console me and let me feel your love. If I really truly love this purely, I don't buy it much. I will follow everything he told me, he should have stayed in touch.
