ready to meet him þarký sözü

(praying)
let us pray.
i thank you lord for my birth, and everything that´s followed.
i thank you lord for today, and i will pray for tomorrow.
i thank you lord for the love of my life and a friend.
i made a promise, and i´m lovin´ my wife to the end.
i thank you lord for your guidence, cuz it´s all that counts.
and right here, right now, lord this is your house
i thank you lord for a dream that came true to life.
and i ask you to bless everybody in this room tonight
i don´t always do the right thing, and i ask you to forgive me
cuz i need you here wit me. without you

we each walk the path, that we´ve chosen

[chorus]
i´m ready to meet him,
we´re i´m living ain´t right
black hate white
white hate black
it´s right back
to the same fight
they got us suspecting a war
but the real war is to follow the law of the lord

lord, you left me stranded
and i don´t know why
told me to live my life,
now i´m ready to die
ready to fly
i cry, but i shed no tears
you told me you would dead those fears, it´s been years
snakes still coming at me
just missing
sometimes i think all you doing me is just listen
i thought that i was special
thats what you told me
hold me
stop acting like you don´t know me
what´d i do so bad that it sent you away from me
not only sent you away, but made you stay away from me
(my child i´m here, as i´ve always been, it was you who went away,
and now are back again, what did i say?)
follow your word, and be true
(what did you do?)
well?what i wanted to do...
(what have you seen?)
darkness and hell at a glance
(what do you want?)
all i want is another chance

chorus

(just because you went away, my doors are not locked, wanna come back home,
all you gotta do is knock)
ya see, i left home a boy, i returned as a man
full grown, and i´m still not able to stand
(i gave you a hand)
well...but i was looking the wrong way
figured out the plan, then i started to pray
and that prayer, took me from here to over there
back to over here,
now they got me like where?
do i belong?
do i fit in?
things on my mind, where do i begin?
it´s easier to sin, but it hurts my heart
i´m really tryin´ to win, so where do we start?
(thou shall not steal)
but, what if he stole from me?
(thou shall not kill)
but what if he´s tryin´ to kill me?
(thou shall not, take my, name in vain, no matter how hard it rains,
withstand the pain)

chorus

our father, who art in heaven
i´m not ashamed to ask for guidance, at 27
no longer afraid to knock on your door
not scared anymore to lose my life in the war
after what i just saw, i´m ridin´ with the lord
cause i really can´t afford to lose my head by the sword
and now that i´ve seen, what i need to see
please take me, where i need to be
(what have you learned?)
it´s better to tell the truth than to lie
(what have you learned?)
to love my life until i die
(what have you learned?)
violence isn´t always the key
(what have you learned?)
you can´t always believe what you see
(what have you learned?)
it´s better to forgive and forget
(what have you learned?)
give as you expect to get
(what have you learned?)
that i can´t go on without you
(what have you learned?)
i musta been a fool to ever doubt you

chorus

i´m ready to meet him (repeat x5)
