You Give Us
Stephen Simmons
Sometime I get so sick of this life Sometimes I think I must be losing my mind Sometimes I wonder why I even still try World leaves me struggling for more air every time Been taking chances with my life Just silly chances wonder how I get by So I keep trying to indulge in this world An excessive cold and lonely ole void to be hurled Chorus: You give us this life, you give us this world You give us each a short time on this earth But only you know how things are gonna turn You give us a choice, you give us your word Been Having problems with my soul Four way stops and don’t know which way to go So I go down each road halfway and turn back I end up nowhere always lost in my tracks Been taking chances with my youth Tried to take the edge off with smoke and booze But I took the edge off so many times That I’m smooth and shapeless till you can’t recognize Chorus But there’s a man in a stained robe up in the air A woman with a child in need of a room and an inn Do we believe, this time will we really care Or will we do it all the same again Chorus Sometimes I get so sick of this life Sometimes I think I must be losing my mind Sometimes I wonder why I even still try Lord come back quickly why there’s still time
