I belong to you
You delight in me
When everything around me seems to crumble down
You hold me warmly in your wings
I belong to you
You delight in me
And knowing that will make me sing the sweetest song
This heart has ever sung
All of my grandparents dead and gone
Though I hate it I'm realizing that money talks
I see my parents getting weaker losing brawn
Real life real life it ain't slowin down for anybody
I'm seeing wrinkles under mama's eyes
I see the hobble and slowing pace of my father's stride
The grains are piling higher with the sands of time
Real life real life it ain't slowin down for anybody
My family is like a tablecloth
Battered and mangled discolored with too many blots
But only showing the world our pretty spots
Real life real life it ain't slowin down for anybody
Can you feel me can you feel me
Cause the pain goes deep it's getting chilly
In this lonely place belly of the beast will it cease
Real life real life it ain't slowin down for anybody
I belong to you
You delight in me
When everything around me seems to crumble down
You hold me warmly in your wings
I belong to you
You delight in me
And knowing that will make me sing the sweetest song
This heart has ever sung
I thought I had my future planned out
But it got jettisoned out there where'd you land now
Swimming and paddling over to high ground
Real life real life it ain't slowin down for anybody
You can cross your t's and dot the i's
So many of these plans inside of a man's mind but
Without the light's direction man your hand's tied
Real life real life it ain't slowin down for anybody
Did we really step on landmines
Shards are laying around the damage you can't hide
The things you can't take raw you pan fry
Real life real life it ain't slowin down for anybody
Grown jaded to the words of man
Empty promises and idioms will hit the fan
Done with the garbage and listening to the scams
Real life real life it ain't slowin down for anybody
I belong to you
You delight in me
When everything around me seems to crumble down
You hold me warmly in your wings
I belong to you
You delight in me
And knowing that will make me sing the sweetest song
This heart has ever sung
And I know my life ain't perfect
But I'm trying to let it show
All these times that I've been hurting
You've been there to hold me close
Like abednego on a bed of coals
You've been there to hold me close
And it's true
There's no greater love than you
I belong to you
You delight in me
When everything around me seems to crumble down
You hold me warmly in your wings
I belong to you
You delight in me
And knowing that will make me sing the sweetest song
This heart has ever sung
I belong to you
You delight in me
When everything around me seems to crumble down
You hold me warmly in your wings
I belong to you
You delight in me
And knowing that will make me sing the sweetest song
This heart has ever sung
