(Hallelujah Chorus)

from Athens by Ross Wright

lyrics

Some days, feel like my heart is sitting on a busy road
Wear it on my sleeve, guess it fell off, here we go
Always a risk when you decide to leave it exposed
Like tryin’ to write poetry ‘stead of vanilla prose
It’s a killer though, will I will or won’t
Cause’ you know I got critics who love to be critical
But I’m giving love, I’m spilling blood
So if you ain’t spilling yours, save it for the judge

I know the enemy is out to kill and destroy (3x)

Voice in the back of my mind, sounds just like mine
Telling me every time, everything is fine
Telling me tomorrow’s gonna be the better time
Right now, take a load off, let it slide
But I don’t wanna be smack at the back of the race
A fat waste, lackadaisical, last place
I want people to know when they look at my faith
Imma be the first to the finish, Imma break the tape

I know the enemy is out to kill and destroy (3x)

But listen up
I know the author and finisher of the story
I know the final score, I know the coming joy
So if it’s tough right now we gotta keep it going
When the sun comes for us (hallelujah chorus)

Keep on keepin’ on (5x)
We don’t choose our scars yet we still get ‘em
But we can shoot for stars while we still livin’

Now I lay me down
It’s over for the life I wanted / A better one has only started
Now I lay me down
I’m done for, I’m ended / Hands up and my heart surrendered
