Honey
Lisa Shaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got to find a way, find a way that I should go
Was lost in your arms so strong
Got so caught up didn't know it was wrong
Afraid of the world, for so long
Afraid of you telling where I belong
Got to find a way, find a way that I should go
There's so much love in the world
We forget to tell each other the words
If you search in your soul then you'll know
That's the way I found my brothers and sisters
Had to take it down, take it down deep in my soul
Got to find a way, find a way that I should go
God has kept me safe always
And I'm thankful for his blessings everyday
Sometimes I need to show
How his love has make me stronger
And both I had to take it down
Had to take it down, take it down deep in my soul
Got to find a way, find a way that I should go
