lyrics
Why can't you see
It’s been a long night for me
I’ve got a reason for it all right now
Don't even try to talk me down
They always told me that it all works out
They always tell me but I know
I simply know it isn't so
My earthly dad he passed away
When I was 12
Then cancer came took my health
But I wouldn't let it wear me down
So I did those drugs,
And I gave'em hell
I got the best of them
I learned of God, it did me well
yea it did me well.
Why can't you see
It's been a long time for me
I’ve got a reason for it all right now
Don't even try to talk me out
Of packin' up and getting out of here
Away from everything I’m told
I’ll venture into the unknown
They said there's a place for me here
Should I return
They washed my feet and they shared my tears
But I didn't let'em change my mind
So I hit the road ready to unlearn
The garbage I’d been taught for years
And oh my God
It did me well, yea it did me well
The pain returned to my stomach
like I remembered it
3000 miles away from home
The doctor seemed to change my mind
So I flew straight back to the table
They said that It was just a fright
And Oh my God, you brought me back
I think I'll stay a while
But things can never be the same
