Sometimes I don't understand Why I was born at all When all that I do leaves me empty Aching and longing for more Sometimes I feel I could stand Man, I feel like I'm ten feet tall But then it's like I'm on trial and I'm guilty I don't know exactly what for
How I wish I could be relieved Fall on God's doorstep And be received But it seems he doesn't Care for me anymore So I'll be on my way Live from the cradle to the grave On my own
Son you must understand Why I would let you fall It isn't because I don't love you It's not that I want you to crawl But the silence between us has grown And your towers have grown so tall "I let you choose; you have chosen" You don't seem to want me at all
How I wish To be reconciled That you would just love me With the heart of a child But it seems you never Want me around anymore So you can have your way Live from the cradle to the grave Far from home
How I wish (Child how I love you) I could be relieved (but you're so far away) Fall on God's doorstep (Won't you come home to me?) And be received (I will give you my robe) But it seems he doesn't (Clothe you in linen) Care for me anymore (Son I want you to stay) So I'll be on my way (I'll set you free) Live from the cradle to the grave (How I long to be home)
How I wish (I've been alone) To be reconciled (so very long) That you would just love me (with a heart made of stone) With the heart of a child (Can you dry all the tears) But it seems you never (I've held in my heart?) Want me around anymore So you can have your way (I'll be on my way) Live from the cradle to the grave Far from home Thank you for visiting AllGospelLyrics.com!
