Thank My Mother's God

I've been alone now for ten years
I know how it feels to truly miss someone
It's been a long road and I talk to my old man
Shakes his head and says "You ain't seen nothing yet, son"

I used to think someday
I'd find an easy way
To get as close as i could to the sun
And I know the lines are drawn
There's no running from the pain
No matter where you're from, rich or poor, old or young

And I should thank my mother's God
For giving her some faith in me
You don't have to see it to believe it
I look at where I'm from and the people all around me
In the end, we're all searching for the same thing
Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday

I've been lost now for ten years
I go where nobody's gonna find me
I've been wandering, following the shadows
Listening to the echoes from behind me

As I orbit around what will only bring me down
This abusive inspiration has always plagued me
If I could try again and go back to when I've been
I'd have to let down my guard and unlock the door and let you in

And I should thank my mother's God
For giving her some faith in me
You don't have to see it to believe it
I look at where I'm from and the people all around me
In the end, we're all searching for the same thing
Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday
Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday
