Sho Baraka - Half Of Me lyrics

rate me

Hook

Half of me just walked away

And the other half is trying not to stay

Help me see the hope that's past the rain

Restore the joy within me and

Speak to me thru the pain

Verse 1

This kind of news would make a grown man cry

The kind of man who knows the answers but he still asks why

Why are you down cast oh my soul

My team expects so much from me, I can't let them know

That I'm not finding joy and my faith's dying slow

I gotta go on preaching I gotta go on with the show

Gotta grace the stage, I gotta make the crowd say oh

Only problem is I'm not believing in the words I flow

So I look to sky I know the hour has come

Please remove this thorn from me cuz my soul feels numb

I got these liars in my head asking where my faiths gone

I don't feel happy and I don't even care to fake for them

They think me showing pain is the denial of Christ

Because my tears up in my food all day and night

Half of me hopes in the Lord and knows I'll praise again

The other half wants an excuse to wallow in my sin

They say count it all joy, I got questions about how

Theres answers after death but I need answers right now

I know this to shall pass, whether slow or fast

Loosen my grip on the world and for you I grasp 2x

Verse 2

He feels he fled temptation to long, so He's tried of fighting

He no longer finds his marriage exciting

She's drowning in depression in the rain

She can't maintain, Lord can you help her ease the pain

A father gets news that his newborn son has complications

He has no idea what he's faced with

No matter his disabilities I'm not ashamed of my son

Lord I pray that when his days on earth are done

He'll understand that you and the son are one

One families prays together for financial needs

Father feels inadequate cuz he aint worked in weeks

He been laid off he may loose their car and home

He thinks what good is a man who cant provide for his own

He sees the pain in wife and children's eyes

Contemplating suicide cuz dead men cry

Lord give him eyes to see past the pain

That his value in life, it doesn't come with things

I know this to shall pass, whether slow or fast

They are loosing their grip I hope for you they grasp 2x

Verse 3

I wont let this current pain master me

What is pain actually

Lets not address it causally but I don't want to fear pain

Lets count it all joy its is gain

Dear life is in my palms & I'm holding on

strength is an illusion right along with this calm that I'm on and I'm feeling far gone-

Cause half of me is hoping that my eyes won't open in morn'

Sorrow is my tongue hear my moans

I'm eager for redemption but I know

There's more than meets the eye to the thorns in my side

So I cry refusing all the lies

Pain is my ally when aligned to who you are

There's more to my scars so I know there's more to yours

I'm resting in your arms

I'm resting in the your wrists

I'm pressing with a limp pain is purposed through your gift

I'm strengthening my grip may this faith in u persist

And when this half insists I pray u breathe in me lament

Amazing is your grace cause while I'm holding you it seems

The truth of the matter is your really holding me
