Clayton Jennings
Let Me Escape
[Verse 1: Clayton Jennings]
I'm just a runaway
Trying to make a way
Guarantee I'll make it, MJ with a fadeaway
I'm with Mike and a bottle of Gatorade
I might as well say something, but I got nothing to say today
I write poems, and you listen, then they fade away
I wonder if you even hear the words I say
I've emptied my soul to you, page after page
You've seen the ups, the downs, and you've witnessed the rage
You come for my family, monster comes out to play
'Cause a whole lotta people use the Word to gеt paid
Others use it to see revival, to see pеople get saved
We'll all know who's who someday after the grave
Heaven will be missin' a whole lotta names
'Cause a checkmark and a pulpit doesn't mean that you're saved
Say it louder, I think that they're onto me
Just got honored by my college, but I hated school, honestly
I realized I can do anything because the God in me
So bring on the giants, Goliaths, and tyrants
One word from my God, and they all just fall silent
Wars, rumors, protests, riots, and looting
Look around man, come on, what are we doing?

[Verse 2: Blake Whiteley]
Ayy, traded faith, I put trust in myself
Put my eyes on the problem, that's how I fell
Now I'm hurtin' inside, I'm not well
Feel like I'm sinking in sand, crying for help
Oh, God, I'm sorry for not listening to You
Oh, God, I did the thing I said I wouldn't do
Oh, God, how can I make it back up to You?
Oh, God, can we get back to where it's just me and You?
Yeah
[Chorus: Blake Whiteley]
I've been high on the mountain
I've fallen on my face, yeah
Took a drink from the fountain, look
Lord knows I've made mistakes
Let me escape
To Your embrace
Take me higher than this place, yeah
Let me escape
To Your embrace
Take me higher than this place, yeah
