"Give Me What I Need"
by Rayburn Rex Riggins, Peyton Paul Peeples IV, & JTR
Looking forward looking back Try to shake the devil off my back Stay the course keep the train on the track Won't you give me what I need
Saying yes saying no Up above as down below Let the river take me where I need to go Won't you give me what I need
Take away the sadness And take away the pain If I don't learn the lesson Tell me once again Soul cries out my spirit soars Oh Lord I know there's so much more Now I'm falling on my knees Won't you give me what I need
Past is good and gone Day is short life is long Never mind the things I think I want Won't you give me what I need
All got hopes and dreams Trying to work out what it means Letting go of everything I ever seen Won't you give me what I need
