Lookin' Back Lyrics

Looking out at the world and wondering what happened

So much hurt, hearts destroyed

And I don't know if I've adapted

To face the weight that Is comin'

To face harder days that are runnin' at me

Man I'm falling down deep

When you're in the dark of night and you think that you're world's fallin' apart

Lift your head to the sky of stars above you

Listen for God's voice he says: "You're my child I love you, you're my child I love you"

I'm never too far

Why am I lookin' back

At everything that's hurt me

It's like eveything concerns me

I'm lookin' back

What does the future hold for me

With all the things that I'll face

It feels like life is a race

With all this pain that's comin' my way

Sometimes life feels like prison

But I know it's worth livin'

Why am I looking back

This world makes it difficult to know what to believe, but the truth is in our creator

All these assumptions that just ain't true

Am I really strong enough

To face the weight that is comin'

to face all the pain that is runnin' at me

But I want you to know that

All the things in this world out of proportion they've swirled

All the things in this world man they've got me unfurled

How does the future look I hope it's not full of pain

Cuz Livin' in this world man it's left it's stain

I think I'm lookin' back cuz I don't know what to think

Of my past, of my present, in my future I could sink

I'm hopin' when the future comes I'll see some sort of chink

Cuz the heart of the Earth is all filled with blackened ink
