Intro
I don’t know where to start,
But this time I’m on my knees,
Hopefully you’re listening,
Here goes nothing,

Verse – One
Father God, I got some things on my mind,
Like, if I could only just, if I could only just,
Reach in that clock and turn back time,
Then, maybe then, maybe then I could,

Make something of this waste of life,
And, maybe then I would feel alright,
Because I forget what it’s like to feel,
And wonder sometimes if you’re even real, so tell me,

Pre-Chorus
How could you love a sinner like me?
Why is your forgiveness free?
Cause everything in this world I gotta earn,
If it doesn't make dollars than it doesn't make sense,

That’s what they taught me, and I don’t know,
Do you get a kick outta telling prayers no?
It's either that or you ain't hearing what I'm saying,
Why am I living for a God I can't see?

Chorus
My child, be still and know I am with you always,
Always and always,
My child, you're in my arms till the end of time,
You'll be just fine, I love you,

Verse – Two
But for real though, I got some real things goin' on,
Like, how could you up and take my mom?
Why I gotta life this life alone?
And why ain’t record labels blowing up my phone man?

I got questions, they need answers,
Why do people gotta die from cancer?
Why good people have bad things happen?
Sometimes I think that you’re napping, so tell me,

Pre-Chorus
How could you love a sinner like me?
Why is your forgiveness free?
Cause everything in this world I gotta earn,
If it doesn't make dollars than it doesn't make sense,

That’s what they taught me, and I don’t know,
Do you get a kick outta telling prayers no?
It's either that or you ain't hearing what I'm saying,
Why am I living for a God I can't see?

Chorus
My child, be still and know I am with you always,
Always and always,
My child, you're in my arms till the end of time,
You'll be just fine, I love you,

Breakdown


Father, are you there? I’m just wasting my time man.
Be still,
You're a child of God,
I can’t hear you.
Be still,
I'm the master of the universe,

Are you there?
Be still,
You're a child of the most-high God,
Is that you?
Be still,
I'm the master of the universe,

Thought I heard something.
Be still,
You're a child of the most-high God,
Why won’t you talk to me?
Be still,
I'm the master of the universe,
If you there than tell me,

Pre-Chorus
How could you love a sinner like me?
Why is your forgiveness free?
Cause everything in this world I gotta earn,
If it doesn't make dollars than it doesn't make sense,

That’s what they taught me, and I don’t know,
Do you get a kick outta telling prayers no?
It's either that or you ain't hearing what I'm saying,
Why am I living for a God I can't see?

Chorus
My child, be still and know I am with you always,
Always and always,
My child, you're in my arms till the end of time,
You'll be just fine, I love you,

Outro
Oh, if you only knew,
My sweet, sweet child,
How much I love you,

Look through my eyes,
And see what I see,
I gave my son to set you free and,
That was my plan,
Look through my eyes,
And see what I see,
I gave my only son to set you free and,
That was my plan.
