Needs

This isn't the end for you

A bigger plan has been made, just ahead it waits for you

I know it's been tough, but you've made it through

And I'm proud of you

You're tired, but not defeated

You feel like the nail that poked a hole in the tire

That let the air out your sail, let the moment breathe

You hate it wondering why you were ever created

The devil likes to prey on people, you and me

Most people say that they pray in the name

When it's really a pray for a need

If you got knocked down, get back on your feet

So many times you've packed up to leave

But you can never pack up your heart

Looking for that finish line

To only end up back at the start

You refuse to look back 'cause it's hard on your lips

Don't tell the tales told by your scars

Make you think that you're ugly when you're really a star

Life is funny, it'll make you believe

You're someone, you are

And life might have pushed you a little too far

Pull in the drive and you sit in your car

Wondering how you managed to make it this far

Facetime two times 'cause you really are that far

I watch time, this time, poof, you vanish

Don't know which version you are

But the first verse in the church of the one at the bar

Versus didn't I? As much as vodka did

And took two shots of it, when the jitters hit

I take a shot to knock the edge off

Before dinner with the sober ones

I don't know church people, and the struggle is real

And the truth is we're all sinners

And kids of sinners to people sinning

Who try to act spiritual

It's what centers us and how it sets us apart

There is a time to choose, and the chosen ones

Prepped in full from learning the knowledge

Experiences, lessons, outcomes and blessings

To what God's plans made of you

God's love for them any bigger than his love for you?

The passer-byers hate me for speaking the truth

But I'm not speaking of him, I'm speaking to you

The suicidal one alone in your room

That pregnant teen with no clue what to do

The cutter who got judged, misused, and abuse

I'm not talking to the religious, I'm talking to you

The imperfect, the beautiful, I'm trying to reach you

Trying to break through you, people don't want to harm you

I'm sending out a smoke signal, don't lose hope in others

We're calling all angels to cast out the demons

And get those wishes granted from the devil

Tell him you'll never settle, you ain't dancing with the devil

You got a plan, you're going up, it's a win-win on God level

Only through Jesus is the way in

But this is probably not how you planned it

What goes around comes around

And people who hate the most already live underground

So six feet deep won't feel so new

As death rolls around a pine box for the blind

If I had one wish, I'd wish the streets be empty

And Heaven would be full

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm scared to get old
