Verse1
At times it's hard
for me to wake up
and face the day
knowin' everything
that's goin' on in the world
it ain't the same
too many times
I've let good people and things
slip through my fingers
I lost track of myself
I lost part of me
I need put together
only God can save me
Verse2
I wake up in the mornin'
wipe the sleep away
pray to God in Heaven
as I face another day
I pray He heals me
I pray He walks with me
through this day
I pray He guides me
on the right way
I pray He takes away
all the chains that bind me
please God take 'em all away
Bridge
Please erase the insanity
from my mind
take the voices
that shouldn't be there away
take the neurotic craziness
put it on down the line
take it away from me
put it outta my mind
please
Chorus
Let me be a little Closer To You
clear the thoughts from my mind
take the insanity away
take the craziness
far away from me
let me be a little Closer To You
farther away from the things
that shouldn't be
Verse3
I open my eyes
to another day
not lettin' the dreams fade away
tryin' to find peace of mind
open the door
to the right way
closin' the door of yesterday
God please guide me on my way
Repeat Bridge and Chorus
Verse4
I don't wanna fall asleep
and dream the dreams
I dream at night
if I can't wake up in the light
to a beautiful mornin'
and my woman
by my side
I wanna wake up in God's light
(solo)
Verse5
Here's to keepin' the dream
alive
another day with God by my side
guidin' me through this life
walkin' with me
the whole way
walkin' with me
through the day
Repeat Bridge and Chorus
