lyrics

Goodness

V1
Right and Wrong I've entertained em both.
Gave em the best seats to my lavish show.
Brought em along every time I thought,
holding em hostage at my carnal ball.

Nobody's getting out here alive
(one of those thoughts I kept hostage inside my mind.)
It was a tough way to live but I was living it;
confusion's confusing when you're stuck in it.

V2
Right and Wrong well one's gotta go,
I'll need a miracle just to believe one could.
Help to do right along the way,
remind me the purpose to my every day.

C
Goodness
The best part now is just waking up.
Goodness
In a world gone mad God you're still reaching out.

V3
If there's hope in me it's because of You.
If there's love in me it's only You.
If there's good in me it's the good in You.
The life left in me, it's all for You.

Outro
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me, all the days of my life.
