lirik lagu josiah williams - the way out
[alex isaak – chorus:]
oh, lord!
why don’t you show me the way out!
show me the way out!
(x2)
[josiah williams – verse 1:]
let’s talk about this lifestyle that i’m ’bout!
and those wrong roads that i went down
when i was down and out for that count
all that i had were all of my doubts
i put my faith in this world!
what a bad choice
misguided
took a wrong step in that fire
and that small flame — it ignited
i needed rest and resilience
love and hope over sadness
dip me down in that water and cover this ugly canvas
call that rest and resilience
can i get that word?
let me hear it
i’m trying to nurture my body
and feed my soul and my spirit (oh god!)
i would only say that name if god was helping me
and now i’m saying it all the time
god has set me free!
thinking i was gonna save the world on my own
and hurting from trying
“jesus take the wheel”
truth is, i should have never been driving
so let’s ride out!
right now, and not wait!
’cause, i could be out on my own
but i wanna travel all over the states
so that i can talk about god though
my new rap! god flow
and they be like: what’s the way out?
and i tell them who i follow
[alex isaak – chorus:]
oh, lord!
why don’t you show me the way out!
show me the way out!
(x2)
[josiah williams – verse 2:]
i’ve been let down, damaged
did things that i really can’t manage
i broke hearts, and i cried out
my own face, i couldn’t stand it
i knuckled up with my enemy and i lost
’cause i thought that i could just take him all on my own
and that was my fault
see, i was thinking: i was something invincible
fighting something that hates me
and takes me to a place, no safety
where the good guys can’t save me
but i gotta put the metal to the pedal
i can’t sleep with the lies of the devil
’cause i might wake up cold and alone
’cause i lived my life like a rebel, man!
but i found god! and that’s all i need!
i once was lost inside, yeah, but now i’m freed!
’cause i need someone there to slow my roll
and that’s why i’ve got god, hold me down and take control
you can’t take my heart! i got it filled with joy
if that’s what y’all about, then let me hear you make some noise!
you can’t take my heart!
i got it filled with joy
’cause i know now with god there’s nothing he can’t destroy
[alex isaak – chorus:]
oh, lord!
why don’t you show me the way out!
show me the way out!
(x2)
[reverend deveraux hubbard – closing prayer:]
father, i bow before you and just ask
as your humble servant that you would please help
you know my mistakes, you know my faults, you know my failures
but, you know my heart’s desire to please you
i realize now, like never before, without you i can’t make it
so i surrender myself afresh
asking that you would lead and guide and direct
that you would influence, that you would order my steps
show me the path that you would have for me to walk on
that i might live a life that would cause you to smile
so from this day forward, my commitment and my resolve
is to live for an audience of one
i pray that you would be pleased
hear your servant’s prayer
amen
