VERSE I been searching all this time for the real Love, Tried to look in worldly things no I shouldn’t of, Praise God Hallelujahs was enough of, Heart far from the king yet my mouth sung, Blue river, the deer panteth, but the people are expecting the good shepherd, I put myself on a pedestal of broken records, Now my life’s repeating sin, dialect deflected, yo, A constant grapple to a dark Tomb, Raiding riches and rewards from a broken womb, unsatisfied, Yet satisfied in his right hand forevermore, Holy, Holy, Holy to the king with these broken chords, I sinned again man I’m sick of this, I just got angry again with another friend, A twisted tangle of tangible tastes that leaved me tested, Wrestling through the mess I thought I beat in 06’, I’m Superman, you metropolis, Pride living inside until the cape’s removed and I’m Clark again. Thoughts congested, I’m redirected, to moments when runs were walks and all my life was God’s, uncontested. Resting in the cool breeze of his heartbeat, Not a care in the world, call it a sweet treat, Once was lost but found, Now stuck in the shoes of John Does, Mary Sues, Bobby Browns. But God’s prerogative’s sovereign, allowing pain but giving peace to my mind in the midst of the storm. To rest my soul in Christ Alone, but it’s hard when... ugh.... Interruptions make they way in my dome. Worries and fears dominate Satan premeditates to kill off my soul bruh, What a tiring pursuit to be new, to be free, from the things that would lead to Sheol. Yet it’s better that I’m with you, ain’t nobody got me like you do, you make me brand new, In the moments of insanity you remind me what I’m dealing with now won’t compare to your glory, Here I go again, running to the same trends, House of cards made of man and their opinion, Wretched man that I am Who will deliver me, Thanks be to Christ who saves me from my lunacy, BRIDGE You keep going round in circles, Trying to draw a straight line, Peering deep inside you heart, To find peace of mind, Oh you keep going round in circles, Trying to draw a straight line, Oh if you keep your eyes above, There’s so much more you will find

Lyrics

[Intro]

They tell me wife up fo yo life up child,
I’m doing fine even though you didn’t ask,
Or maybe you did but you won’t believe my answer,
Uh uh uh treating singleness like a cancer,
Like it’s a sickle cell to the single greatest advancement marriage,
Good gift good God who gives the good gift but it’s not the God himself,
God is looking to be emancipated from what his hands created for us to love himself,
I’m just dancing with the hand he dealt,
His own hand in which my hand is held,
This ain’t a handicap or hand me down,
Wedding garments unstained they were given by the son don’t mar the son’s name,
Uh uh, yeah,
wedding garments unstained they were given by the son don’t mar the son’s name

Complicated compassion,
Idols pulling up rafters,
From the attic of my heart and soul,
Glutton for ever after,
But I’m not happy,
All alone inside, he tells me it’s alright,
But my mind’s racing a million,
Singleness like a prison,
Chains of envy captivate my life,
Dealing hard with contentment,
Forgetting christ is sufficient,
Trusting that he knows just what I need while I,

[Chorus]
La da da, la da da, la da da, la da da,
Single
But it’s cool

Turning off the distraction,
Solitude in the masses,
Fix my heart to where my soul is free,
Peace in midst of the chaos,
But his love holds me,
Resting in this season that he’s planned for me,
Gaining holy affections,
Growing godly connection,
Fighting worry and joyful still,
Downplayed by all the nay say,
But god is faithful,
Trusting that he knows what’s best for me, yeah.

[Repeat Chorus]
And it’s good

[Bridge]
Could be a season, life’s a season in itself,
But if I died today did I die a dry tree,
Well not with Jesus cause I’m cleaving to his will,
I abide in him and he abides in me,
I abide in him and he abides in me,
I abide in him and he abides in me,
I abide in him and he abides in me,
I abide in him and he abides in me,

[Repeat Chorus]
