[Intro]
Ooh
Oh

[Verse]
Though it tried to break me down
Yeah, I'm still here and I'm standing
Hard to believe at only twenty-three
I'd be standing at a place where I could write my dreams
But my pencil needed sharpening
Before the pages made a mess of me

[Pre-Chorus]
Too far gone, I've been away from home
You can tell when I'm on the telephone
You say, "Call me back, I need to hear your soul"
Thought you had me, then it's, "Where'd she go?"
I've been running on faded dreams
Someone help me, help me, please
It ain't always what it seems
When you look happy

[Chorus]
So, now I'm walking with patience
Keeping the faith, and
Receiving His grace
I'll be needing that
Sober-minded, I'm better
God, my Protector
With me forever
He got my back
[Outro]
Ooh
Oh
He got my back
