Lessons

Why, though It seems like I'm going in cycles? It feels like I'm surrounded by five ghosts And none of them are holy, holy Am I blind (Blind) Or am I missing the message? There's no time (Time) No time for guessing What is this? And just like that, the spirits disappeared And then I heard a soft voice so clear that said "What's it gonna take you to see That there's not a living thing or person like Me? How many different lessons do I gotta teach To get you to be what I want you to be? Tell me son, What's it gonna take you to see That there's not a living thing or person like Me? How many different lessons do I gotta teach To get you to be what I want you to be? Tell me" I know exactly who this is I'm talking to 'Cause I'm saying to myself, "This the same Person that be walking with you." And then I stopped in my tracks 'Cause the fact of the matter is I've realized what just happened Instead of me calling on God and left my guards up I started freaking out and didn't pause, bruh And if I took the time to realize what was going on I would've been able to stand strong, but now I'm walking around with my head down Then I heard that voice again, and I started looking around And it said, "My Grace is enough; don't give up" As I looked up with tears in my eyes, I said, "Yes, Sir" "What's it gonna take you to see That there's not a living thing or person like Me? How many different lessons do I gotta teach To get you to be what I want you to be? Tell me son, What's it gonna take you to see That there's not a living thing or person like Me? How many different lessons do I gotta teach To get you to be what I want you to be? Tell me" "I'm just tryna get you to where I want you to be I'm just tryna get you, son, can't you see? I want you to be just like Me But the only way that, that you can see You gotta trust Me You gotta hear Me (A lesson that's not learned) You gotta understand I got what you need" (Is destined to be repeated) Take heed to those lessons And those tests that I bring your way It's not to hurt you but to make you stronger in the faith."
