[Hook]
Because it's a lonely road and the pain is growing old and I can't do this alone

Here we go, come on

[Verse 1]
Sometimes there's to much to bare, but when I am sick to my stomach I find that the only way that I can calm it is to vomit, so I spew up a prayer I'm just wondering if you up in there? And if so, you know that I plummet and I screw up for real ain't nothing else to do but to kneel. I'm just hoping that you will appear cause I wrote this to you with a tear sometimes it rains to much to care

If I'm real and confess you'll spare me I'm told, I'm just dealing with stress can you carry my load? Even sneak eyes get rolled fairly I suppose we often cry because we rarely die old. I ain't trying to make an excuse I'm just waiting for the day that I am loose from this hate and abuse. I swear it was never my intention to hurt you, excuse me I'm about to turn this curb into a Church pew. Cause yet through all the pain and strive, you kept your promise and remained in my life. And it occurs to me that true, no I don't deserve you. I probably break your heart more times than my curfew. But the more I read the Scriptures I see, how far I am from what should be depicted of me but I'm ready to transform from a man torn to a gentle heart that can't harm because I'm tired of pain

[Hook]
Take me in your arms and never let me go. Yes, it's a lonely road and the pain is growing old and I can't do this alone. [Someone is gonna feel me I swear to God] Take me in your [take me into your arms father come on] arms and never let me [Hold me for eternally please] and it's a lonely road and the pain is growing old and I can't do this alone, Yeah

[Verse 2]
And I wonder if the world can see past all the applauds and cheers when the limelight dissolves and my flaws appear I know that cold day is drawing near but I hope they see the truth dog, because I ain't gone always be here. I let the rain camouflage my tears cause when I'm lonely my closest homies voice is all I hear. I've never felt so much stress in all my years being buried before I'm married that's all I fear. No less, without currency still I could stand it's the ability to love that makes me feel like a man. But I have never had the opportunity, usually ends up either with them using me or sucking my friends up. And the fact that most times I ain't even trying to live doesn't help me to produce the love that I am dying to give, so I just sit off in the corner writing, trying to ignore the undeniable turmoil but I'm tortured to mourn ya

Every time that my heart beats and yours isn't Justice I'm sorry I can't visit, but you ain't listen much other than watching me deteriorate even my soul suffers it's got me wondering if I'm near to the gate, but I know the answer because every time I get the chance to I advance my alcoholism and cancer regrets in my tears homeboy they pour when you think of me here's a few things to pray for

[Hook]
Take me in your arms and never let me go. Yes, it's a lonely road and the pain is growing old and I can't do this alone

[Verse 3]
And I know the Son is somewhere shining in a place that ain't never seen sorrow, a place where nothing dying so there is hope for tomorrow in a land that doesn't make you feel like you got to kill but it's still real Lord knows that's where I wanna chill. Where we can live long enough to have a seed no savage greed we supply what the famish need. Where my moms and my pops ain't got to struggle they just job hustle when the check comes than they double. When my little brother Justice ain't never seen the least of jail, my sister amounts to more than just a piece of tail but reality keeps me from sleeping well cause the streets are hell and I'm weak for a decent meal. Father forgive me for the smoke in my lungs, and pouring liquor for my n***a's over my tongue, and for sleeping so close to my gun I feel more lost the closer I come I wish we all could just approach you as one

[Hook]
Take me in your arms and never let me go. Yes, it's a lonely road and the pain is growing old and I can't do this alone
