{hook 1}
It hasnt, hasnt always gone my way.
It hasnt, hasnt always gone my way.
Does it mean it wasnt meant to be?
Does it mean that i have been so selfish?
(x2)

verse 1
I bought a pretty birdy rather early in the daytime.
I let it fly away and saw it headed towards the grapevines.
feeling like i need a lil freedom from the heat indeed
im beating up my spirit wanna trade it with the parakeet.
Praying for the baracade to break and take the pain away
I wait- bathing in the lake of my mistakes...
Aching for your grace, your ways are great Father you are awesome.
Dream Catchers couldnt catch me when im falling.

Do you promise that youll hold me often?
Cleanse me with your fountain?
Even when my soul is in doubt and im falling
carrying my coffin, heavy like your cross is wandering around and im lost.
and the dawn has risen on your garden- which i am so far from...
Tempted on the mountain (my God.)
but im falling, carrying my coffin, heavy like your cross is.
wandering around and im lost.

hook 1

verse 2
Worst case scenario unprepared for the merry go round.
Spinning and pinned to the horse... of coarse i just wanna get down.
Itll belittle me really, stomach is turning and twisted
Plunging and pumping like pistons- instantly sicker than sick.
History snickers at me... broker than ever could be.
im over the threat of defeat but under debree.
Reaching for reasons for me to preach at the prisons
oh give me wisdom to overcome this bridge and this haunted system

hook 2
It hasnt, hasnt always gone my way.
(For your eyes are looking to and fro, throughout the earth)
It hasnt, hasnt always gone my way.
(finding vessels that are only yours- fully yours)
Does it mean it wasnt meant to be?
(For your eyes are looking here and there through out the earth)
Does it mean that i have been so selfish?
(finding vessels that are truly yours- fully yours)
It hasnt, hasnt always gone my way.
(should i stay? should i run? should i pray?)
It hasnt, hasnt always gone my way.
(please open doors and close the ones that lead astray)
Does it mean it wasnt meant to be?
(whats the plan? whats the path? whats your will?)
Does it mean that i have been so selfish?
(Please open doors and close the ones that lead astray)

verse 3
You wouldnt wanna look into my face back in 1978
and see a baby that a mother could hate (then look away)
Momma never rocked me to sleep, daddy was a creep
Momma crept and left me on a doorstep
As i slept bundled nestled in a basket- she sent me
floating down the LA river (God forgive her)
i knew it back then that action was a fraction
of my lifes conquest (Moses)
A paradox of unorthodox type of hard knock life
traumatized with no sight.
You wouldnt wanna look into my mind back in 1979
well look inside and tell me what you can find
(Dont- nevermind)
aching for your grace and your ways are great- you are so awesome
Dream Catchers couldnt catch me when im falling.
