Why do you hit me? You know I ain't your punchin' bag Since when do thorns try to hurt the roses? And why are you always mad? I'm so innocent, and you're so ignorant Raise your fist hit or miss Try to take my happiness Well that ain't happenin' to me no more
CHORUS: Cause I, I, I found a loving father And I, I, I'm gonna fly away To a place where I can smile and cry Cause I know I'm gonna make it today yeah Said I know I'm gonna make it today
I woke up this mornin' As I wiped the sleep from my eyes Got a reall good feelin' yeah For the first time I had no reason to cry So I said my Father Lord thanks for the changin' My life Lord thanks for holdin' me showing what real Love is like Cause you're so true to me So I try to be true to you You love me when no one even carred for me
So I can face the rain and smile again
What's the bottle for, and why are you so mad? I thought that mama said you're supposed to Be our loving dad But alcohol done took control of your life Now you do the same and try to take control Of your wife and kids So I'm gon' speak up cause they can't face their fears Take a look in the mirror, MJ says change Your ways to see clearer God says there's always a way out Ain't no temptation that ain't played out Since the beginnin' of time Satan's been Roamin' the earth Trying to tempt the weak willed to hate and hurt And since sins birth, I know you're lives been hard You need to stop beating us and start beating Your problems So today is when we stop the hurt Get up its 10 o' clock yo we're goin' to church
