SQUARE ONE

Excerpt from Our Lyrical Life


WE WERE FACED WITH DEADLINES 

BEFORE THE BILLS CAME DUE

WE ASKED FOR A MIRACLE FROM GOD, 

BUT THE MORTGAGE FELL THROUGH


I KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAID, 

BUT STILL MY DREAM IS DEAD

I CONFESSED THE POSITIVE VERSE, 

MERE WORDS THAT FELL TO EARTH?


SQUARE ONE

DID I REALLY HEAR GOD'S VOICE?

SQUARE ONE

UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY

SQUARE ONE

HAVE I TOTALLY COUNTED THE COST?

SQUARE ONE

DARED TO TRULY OBEY?


SATAN BRINGS THE EVIL DEEDS. 

DESTROYS AND STEALS WHAT'S OURS

BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A TRIAL 

TO SHOW GOD'S OVERCOMING POWER


IS MY MOTIVE SELFISHNESS, 

MY INNER GOAL SIMPLY PRIDE

I WANT TO KNOW FROM THIS DAY ON, 

HOW TO WALK BY GOD'S SIDE

(Chorus)
