Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let the Lord make it betta
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me
It's a wonder I'm not gone
'Cause I been out here too long
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me
I was tellin' her, as good as God's been
I, I can't afford not to praise his name
She said in life she wanted more
There was nothin' this world could offer her
She said she could hear his voice callin' her name
She said
Gonna get myself togetha
And let the Lord make it betta
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me
It's a wonder I'm not gone
'Cause I been out here too long
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me
Young people, what you waitin' for
Lord, He's standin' at your door
He's knockin', won't you let Him in?
He'll forgive your sins, now, that's a friend
Things don't always feel right
But weepin' may endure for a night
Are you wit it, I know you wit it
Then tell yourself, get it in your spirit
Gonna get myself togetha
And let the Lord make it betta
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me
It's a wonder I'm not gone
'Cause I been out here too long
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me
Gonna get myself togetha
And let the Lord make it betta
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me
It's a wonder I'm not gone
'Cause I been out here too long
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me
Lord, please make it better
I need to be better
Ooh
Gonna get myself togetha
And let the Lord make it betta
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me
It's a wonder I'm not gone
'Cause I been out here too long
(I can hear his voice)
Callin' me, callin' me, callin' me

@soundseeker63
Dosen't get anything like the recognition or airplay as "The Bomb" did, but it should! It's every bit as good, if not better! That paino/voca hookl has been stuck in my head for 25+ years!
