Lia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh man, can't you understand?
We gotta thank the force of God
For giving us the power to believe
Don't be afraid to show it, show it
Oh man, just feeling free
We gotta give it up with plenty of love
Say we're right and justified
You shower us with blessings day and night
When we're lost, you show the light
Your lessons in love are astounding
(So don't give up on your fight)
Or you may never ever get to His place
Hold on tight for sweet delight
If you believe in what I say
You'll never be alone in fear
You'll never have to shed a tear
His presence will always be near
No matter how you feel
Never waste a moment, moment
Oh man, can't you understand?
We gotta thank the God of love
For giving us the power to free
Don't be scared to show it, show it
Oh man, can't you let it be?
We gotta give it up for His Holy One
Once in a lifetime majesty
Are we right and justified
To cherish in your glory day and night?
Mesmerized, you're out of sight
Your wisdom and power reminds me
(To don't give up on my right)
For I may never ever get to His place
Hold on tight for sweet delight
If you believe in what He says
You'll never be alone in fear
You'll never have to shed a tear
His presence will always be near
No matter how you feel
Give praise unto the moment, moment
Oh man, can't you understand?
We gotta thank the force of God
For giving us the --- to believe
Don't be afraid to show it, show it
Oh man, just feeling free
We gotta put our faith in kingdom above
Once in a lifetime majesty
Please be the one (please be the one)
To lead me home (to lead me, oh yeah)
