Soulfly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ask God to take control
Guide me through this fucked up world
Conquer this fear spiritually
Forever let it be
Into infinity
Like we always did before
Soul mate forever more
I feel your presence every day
It's so real in every way
Give God thanks and praise!
Just let my soul fly free
And let me be the one God wants me to be
Just let my soul fly free
And let me see everything I'm
Supposed to see
Just let my soul fly
Just let my soul fly
Just let my soul fly free!
Pressure building on my soul
I ask God to take control
Give me guidance in this world
Conquer this fear spiritually
Forever let it be
Into infinity
