“IT’S BETTER TO WALK BACK”

TALKING INTRO

VERSE 1

REMINISCING AS A LITTLE BOY

EVERYTIME I HEARD THE WORD OF GOD IT GAVE ME SO MUCH JOY

THEN I WAS TOLD I HAD A CALLING, BACK THEN I WAS STALLING

HOWEVER NOW WHEN IT COMES TO BEING IN LOVE WITH GOD I’VE FALLEN

BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN

I’D RATHER DO OTHER THINGS THAN TRYING TO FIND HIM

BUT HE CONTINUED TO PURSUE ME, HE SAID THAT TRULY

HE ALWAYS KNEW WE’D BE CLOSE BEFORE MY MOTHER KNEW ME

AND EVEN THE DAYS THAT I DIDN’T STAY AND CONNECT

HE KNEW I’D BE BACK LIKE THE BOOMERANG EFFECT

ESSENTIALLY, MAYBE NOT NOW BUT EVENTUALLY

HE KNEW I’D TURN BACK TO WHERE I WAS INITIALLY

WITH A MOTHER IN MY CORNER WHO ALWAYS PRAYED I’D

CONTINUE TO TAKE STEPS CLOSER LIKE MOTHER MAY I

SO MY ADVICE IS SEEK GOD AND NEVER HAULT

CAUSE THIS IS ONE TIME IN LIFE YOU SHOULDN’T CRAWL BEFORE YOU WALK

CHORUS

DON’T BE TOO PROUD AND THINK YOU’RE ALL THAT

CAUSE ARROGANCE AND PRIDE CAN BE YOUR DRAWBACK

DON’T WANNA WAIT ‘TIL YOUR TIRES ARE ALL FLAT

CAUSE THE ROAD FROM LIFE TO DEATH IS NO PLACE TO STALL AT

YOU SHOULDN’T WAIT ‘TIL SIN MAKES YOU FALL FLAT

LIKE ON YOUR DEATH-BED AND YOUR LIFE IS ALL JACKED

CAUSE WHEN GOD CALLS YOU IT’S BEST TO CALL BACK

SO REMEMBER THAT IT’S BETTER TO WALK THAN CRAWL BACK

VERSE 2

WHEN I WAS YOUNG MANY PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY WOULD LAST

BUT FOUR YEARS LATER IT WAS PUT BACK IN THE PAST

EVEN WITH MY HOLY GRANDMOTHER COULDN’T HEAL MY FAMILIES WOUNDS

IT WAS LEAD TO DOOM

MY LIFE AIN’T GET BETTER IT JUST TURNED INTO AN ETERNAL WOUND

BUT THEN JUST SOON

MY LIFE AIN’T GET BETTER, IT JUST CHANGED FROM BAD TO WORST WITH THE LOSS OF MY DAD TEN YEARS LATER HE DIED, I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS ABOUT TO BURST

I ALWAYS LOVED THE LORD AND BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST

AND WAITED FOR HIM TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG OR RIGHT

BUT OTHERS, THEY DECIDE TO JUST IGNORE HIM

AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND START TO SIN

BUT WHEN THEIR TIME ENDS UP, AND THEN THEY NEED HIS HELP

THEY CRAWL BACK AND SAY GOD REDEEM MYSELF

IT’S SAD TO KNOW THAT THEY HAD TO CRAWL BACK

KNOWING GOD GOT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WHICH IS A FACT

SO WHAT YOU WANNA DO, EASILY WALK BACK

OR DO YOU WANNA COME AND JUST CRAWL BACK

SO THOSE ARE THE FACTS AND REMEMBER THAT

AND KNOW THE WHOLE SORRY THING IS PLAYED OUT LIKE AN 8-TRACK

CHORUS

VERSE 3

THE LESSON IS AND CONFESSION IS THAT THE BEST OF HIS

YOU CAN HAVE, BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHY ARE YOU GUESSIN’ HIS

RETURN BACK TO THIS EARTH FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

JUST GIVE HIM YOUR LIFE NOW BEFORE THIS LIFE GETS WORST

CAUSE YOU DON’T WANNA BE TOO LATE AND WAIT

CAUSE WHO’S TO SAY TODAY YOU’LL STAY IN YOUR PHYSICAL STATE

EXACTLY, IN FACT BE AWARE THAT

YOU DON’T KNOW THE FUTURE SO WHY WOULD YOU WANNA BEAR THAT

RISK OF NOT KNOWIN’, SPIRITUALLY NOT GROWIN’

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE GUESSIN’ THAT YOU KNOW WHEN

THE TIME AND PLACE THAT YOU’LL TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH

YOU MIGHT NOT GET THAT CHANCE OF SALVATION BEFORE DEATH

SO IF WHAT I SAID STRUCK FEAR IN YOU SO BE IT

MY WORDS WERE GIVEN TO WARN YOU BEFORE YOU SEE IT

SO WALK BEFORE YOU CRAWL BACK BEFORE YOU’RE BRUISED UP

SO HE CAN STILL USE YOU BEFORE YOU’RE USED UP

CHORUS
