Blister on my tounge
I can’t speak a word of this to anyone
I can see but this
pain is something I don’t know
so all that I can do
is come to meet with you
And you say:
“”son, hold on to me,
and i will lead your way””
(chorus)
lord, come and show me why
i can’t see with your eyes
blind my mind
make it right
please, i need to get there
will you help me get there
this is my prayer
crawling upward to you
hoping my belief will lead to innocence
straight to my knees
i let the water hit my head
humble before you
it’s all that i can do
and you say…
“”son, hold on to me,
and i will lead the way””
chorus
(bridge)
i wanna be cut down to size
I wanna be the man you had me planned to be
Someone better
I wanna be a son that shines
only for you
only to rise up and all through
living with clear eyes
chorus
