Some nights I chase away sleep
I get out of bed I make some beats
I fall to my knees I pray for peace
Some nights I am just not me
Some nights I struggle to care
I turn over to see my wife snuggled over there
She was diagnosed with what wasn’t fare
Love covered sin, but not disease was it fare…
Some nights I feel my life chasing away
Optimism and innocent play
because what is happening is not okay
It looks like, but my life is not okay…
Some nights I rest, stressed, lying in bed
Tv on I’m a zombie dead
But the fire inside is turning me red
Feel the heat beating like I am burning lead
Hk
Naw It’s not all right, but is all life
I see I am the plight of the poor tonight
The light of the lord so dim tonight
Telling me that I need a friend tonight
I friendly great my thoughts and begin to think
Well, these thoughts are not a friend to me
I don’t’ like me right now I need an end to me
I fight to live upset I am my enemy
Some nights there is glimmer of hope
But other nights that hope is glimmering no
Lights on the sign get brighter and show
How magnificent it can feel to forsake your soul…
hk
I am down right now and don’t want to get up
I am found right now the love won’t let up
I used to go to church you see, but I got fed up
Now my family and friends are here and my head is up
But how good is that when I’m lying on the floor
Life is so unfair, yeah I thought that before
Life is so unfair, my life illuminates the lure
That everything is all right when you stay with the lord…
Like the lord helps me, but not you
Like the lord can save me, but chooses not to
Like the lord calls me to choose what god will do
I put my hope then in the god in you
And I hope that god keeps you alive
So you can come over and extend five
I slap it, wrap it, our souls collide
The embrace emanates grace, now I’m alive
