Carter A. Wilson - The Sound (Amazing Grace) lyrics

Tell me that I can't, I'll do my best to prove your accusation false I could talk before I walked and now I'm flying with the hawks Up and away Past the troubles don't look back or double take Cause when you're in the ring of life, she rarely hits above the waist I'm in the midst of all the hate In the mist but still I wade Hope the waters would recede as I step on through the lake of fate In a way it's sort of eerie how the cold wind leaves me teary I ain't old but I'm weary I won't succumb to fear because I won't let it near me And I'm hoping that you hear me From the sidelines, cheer, don't jeer me Open my eyes and I see clearly Mental note: it reads Dear Me Greetings I know you feel exposed but you'll be way more ashamed at saving face Stay in your lane and claim this race Otherwise, each day's a waste So listen while you lay awake And bathe in the Amazing Grace Chorus (Michele): How sweet the sound It takes my feet off the ground From where I was, to where I am now Its what I've been dreaming about Verse 2: Every move that I make is deliberate There's a reason so specific That I get up on the mic and rip it Usually we forget a dream when we get up out of bed, but I get to live it Now I'm in the place where I dreamt; and now its more than lucid I'm moving fluid Proof is you can't ignore the music See, I had to pause and look up at the mountain in my path After I made it to the top I looked down and laughed Kept stepping and I made it the promised land Honest man I do this for the looks on the faces of the folks who said I should stay away But I know I can't perform on this stage if I stay afraid So I swallowed the torch, my belly got a blazing flame So knock me down, you know my name remains I was a slave to the pain And I wish that the chains would break So I could get away And bathe in the Amazing Grace Chorus (Michele): How sweet the sound It takes my feet off the ground From where I was, to where I am now Its what I've been dreaming about Verse 3: Every uphill climb got a downhill to follow It could be later on it might be tomorrow It might be steep, terrain real tough But I'mma make it, stand tall check how I measure up I'm the ruler of my future Up early with the roosters This life ain't what I'm used to But I'mma keep on trekking through Cause, my boots fit tight It's a moonlit night It's shining bright Through the skies telling me to do it right I got some sk**s to utilize in this life before I'm eulogized And if I don't, or if I slip, I swear I'm gonna lose my mind So I'mma hold it close while I'm laying in this bed awake Thinking about the granted I was given so I'll never take So until I'm reaching heaven's gates I'll do my best to demonstrate the best way To take the game, check and mate Then I can bathe in the Amazing Grace Chorus (Michele): How sweet the sound It takes my feet off the ground From where I was, to where I am now Its what I've been dreaming about
