Once Again
Baby here I am, I’ve fallen down so low
My sun has disappeared, my river’s lost its flow
The devil took a bite and now he won’t let go
I tried to shake him loose but babe I just don’t know
Oh and I’ve fallen once again
It’s never if I will but when
I’ve done everything I can still here I am
Gone and fallen once again
It’s never if I will but when
I’ve done everything I can still here I am
Once again
The evil monkeys fly, their shadows down below
I see the sand slip fast and my panic grow
No forest only trees, they’re shaking to and fro
I got no yellow bricks here to guide me home
Oh and I’ve fallen once again
It’s never if I will but when
I’ve done everything I can still here I am
Gone and I’ve fallen once again
It’s never if I will but when
I’ve done everything I can still here I am
Once again
Tell me now will ever get better
Tell me now can it ever get better
I tell you now that it’s gonna get better
Cause I’ll rise up once again
And it’s not if I will but when
In spite of everything I’ll stand up
Once again
If or When
There you go again
As if your world was gonna end
Like no one ever said this would be hard
And so you kick it down the line
Praying for more time
So practiced now at keeping up your guard
Are you scared of where it’s going
Or just afraid of knowing
That you might have to finish what you start
And so the battle rages on inside your heart
The feeling never wanes
No, some part of it remains
Don’t matter if you look the other way
But if you never follow through
Afraid you’ll lose some part of you
I tell you now you’ll lose something anyway
Are you scared of where it’s going
Or just afraid of knowing
That you might have to finish what you start
And so the battle rages on inside your heart
It’s no surprise how your heart’s been breaking
Compromised by all the time you’ve taken
And if it’s right, then when will you
Stop this fight and once again let it start
Find peace within your heart
So here you are again
At the point of if or when
Trying to find the strength to follow through
But you’ve been here before
Knocking at this door
So tell me now, what you’re gonna do
Are you scared of where it’s going
Or just afraid of knowing
That you might have to finish what you start
And so the battle rages on inside your heart
