Tragedy
A shot in the dark...
Out of the darkness, comes His marvelous light Will you change your heart, or continue to die tonight It's an inner battle, but who's gonna win the fight A child of darkness, or a child of light Everything will alright... That's what they tell you, but they don't know About the demons that torment your soul Arguments with your parents, that lead to arguments with your wife The pride, the lust, and the anger and strife Generational curses... That make you want to end your life Addicted to pain, sex, alcohol, and the pipe Can't do it yourself, you need Jesus, just to get right Temporary solutions, they barely get you by Wake up from the darkness, and just seek the Lord Die to yourself, and make Him your life source A right relationship with God, is how it has to be Because, anything less... is a tragedy I Know Why
So many visions of pain, from the place that I came
It'll probably drive the average man insane That's why I'm glad I overcame, least that's how it looks on the surface I'm just a shell of a man, still searching for my purpose Emotional scars, that have left emotional marks It's kinda scary, cause it's hardened places deep in my heart That's why I'm keeping my heart, from getting broken again I try to swallow my pride, but it seems I'm choking again And I'm holding my sin, like a crutch, while keeping the faith That's like knowing all love, but still asking to see the hate We place ourselves in predicaments like this everyday And then go to the Lord and pray that He takes it away He gave us a place, way up, on top of the Rock But working in our own power, is gonna get us shocked I'm like a bird on a perch, getting ready to squawk I open up my mouth, but it seems that I can't talk I know why, I know why the caged bird sings I know why, y'all like those blingy things I know why, I was called to intervene I know why, I know why I cried a lot when I was little, but now I shed no tears When I died to self, tell me, did I really dead those fears Or are they in my subconscience, in parts of my mind Waiting to reveal themselves, in my darkest of times I'm not scared, but I still can't sleep at night Cause the things on my mind, cause me grief at night Counting sheep at night, all I see is the lost And when I think of my own burden, all I see is the cross My yoke is easy, and my burden is light I was called to ministry, cause this earth isn't right Y'all thirsting to fight, but call yourselves servants of Christ A house cannot stand, if it is the house you divide Your pride leads to destruction, and your glory is shame Without love, all your good deeds are done in vain I came, not for gain, but as iron for the honing Cause y'all wont let it be known, that Christ paid the atonement I know why, I know why the caged bird sings I know why, y'all like those blingy things I know why, I was called to intervene I know why, I know why Terrorism on television, fire in the sky This world could be over in the twinkle of an eye We're living in the last days, and it's time to draw nigh Even these children are crying out, that they don't want to die This world is a mother... but we know God is the Father And He's the only parent we got. when our own will not bother To nourish the kids, and encourage the kids Cause all they want to do is punish, and worry the kids Plus it just don't help to argue with a drunk or a fool We've been going downhill, since y'all took prayer out of school Now when it comes to the rules, should we follow or break America is DSA, cause y'all divided the states Unrighteous offerings and sacrifices made in vain Sending God strange, will make you burn in the flame My people this ain't a game, so stop playing with this thang Cause God knows His people, and He calls us by name I know why, I know why the caged bird sings I know why, y'all like those blingy things I know why, I was called to intervene I know why, I know why
