[Lyrics]
[chorus]
I've been trying to find the answers to my questions
Soul searching, blindfolded, no weapons
Fighting through the dark
looking for the spark that resides in my heart
Where ya been little friend?
I promise you I won't ever let you go again
nah, I won't let you go again
uh-uh, I won't let you go again
I promise, I promise, I promise
I won't let you go again
[vs1]
I took a look inside me, what a scary place
Journeyed into the depths and found familiar faces
They were ghosts of folks I held close, they were
Well spoken and held tokens
With their arms wide open they embraced me
Erased my pain with haste and gracefully reclaimed the peace in me
Restored my belief within
Made a blind man see again
Now with my eyes wide open I'm poking around in my brain
Hoping to escape with the flame I earned
This is proof of the lessons learned
I don't expect y'all to get it I'm tearing apart reality
Gallantly destroying my demons, defying gravity
Battling my vices blindfolded, bold strategy
Shooting for the stars left me stranded in the galaxy
Questioning how much of this is real, or just a fantasy.
[chorus]
I've been trying to find the answers to my questions
Soul searching, blindfolded, no weapons
Fighting through the dark
looking for the spark that resides in my heart
Where ya been little friend?
I promise you I won't ever let you go again
nah, I won't let you go again
uh-uh, I won't let you go again
I promise, I promise, I promise
I won't let you go again
[vs2]
In the beginning I knew that this was everything
That I needed to finally be a better me
I could prove to family I'm more than just a bum
I believed my super power rested on my thumb
So I dedicated time and focus
Honed skills, put wheels in motion
I spoke poems to provoke emotions that I felt left my heart open
What a notion in this day and age
Where everybody's so afraid to show their weakness
I embrace it as my strength and uniqueness
Don't just listen to me, you need to feel this
Feel this cleansing of my soul
Let it go, let it be
Let it show, set it free
Let it grow, let it speak
Watch it float, let it breathe
Had to open up my eyes to see
That losing track of the time I keep
Is the only way I find my peace
[chorus]
I've been trying to find the answers to my questions
Soul searching, blindfolded, no weapons
Fighting through the dark
looking for the spark that resides in my heart
Where ya been little friend?
I promise you I won't ever let you go again
nah, I won't let you go again
uh-uh, I won't let you go again
I promise, I promise, I promise
I won't let you go again
[vs3]
My heart's been heavy and my conscience compromised
I've been infected by the devil and all of his lies
Drawn to darkness by the promise of my success
I confess this was my obsession
I walked in the flesh and I sought affection
Everywhere it wasn't, lost my heart's connections
I grew cold from this walk in the wrong direction
I was lost, defenseless, jarred and senseless
Helpless, distraught, I forgot the message
But never did forget the lessons, good Lord
Please have mercy on me
Use me as a tool when I'm rocking on the beat
It isn't hard to see, this light is mine to keep
And I'ma let it shine
Let it light my way through this life to the narrow gate
I put my trust in Him, my soul is His to take
At any moment, He decides on the time and day
All I ask is Father, please forgive me if I'm led astray
[chorus]
I've been trying to find the answers to my questions
Soul searching, blindfolded, no weapons
Fighting through the dark
looking for the spark that resides in my heart
Where ya been little friend?
I promise you I won't ever let you go again
nah, I won't let you go again
uh-uh, I won't let you go again
I promise, I promise, I promise
I won't let you go again
