Salvation Jam

I've been wondering why nothing ever gets to me

I've been hearing nothing now for far too long

I can hardly stand to sit for one more word

I've been counting seconds 'till I can leave

Won't you let me leave?

I've been thinking that maybe this is all my fault

Maybe thinking is the thing that got me where I am now

Let my mind wander to the desert where it's all alone

Can I hold on to what I know?

Sometimes, I don't think so

Pull back the curtain to find that I am not what you thought

And see that what I think is not what you taught

I know all the right words, I play in all the right keys

Don't be surprised when you find that you've been deceived

Lately I've grown sick of what's been going on

It seems that I lose control every time I'm alone

And I won't talk about anything with anyone

Even though I know there's nothing I can do

But the question is, can I depend on you?

Oh Lord, send me back again to a day when I was free

Oh Lord, send it back again the joy of my salvation

Oh Lord, send me back again when love was all I'd need

Oh Lord, if only I knew then once you start you can't never stop

Back
