jahaziel - trust lyrics
[sister jones]
young hope sits by herself
sitting down wondering
where have the years gone?
storybook on the shelf
but no one’s reading
how her life’s been
time seems to p-ss her by
battle after battle
nothing is simple
and so she’s asking why
how she came through
while she looks to the sky
knowing she could not be alone
you were right by her side
not for a minute were you gone
[chorus] x2
hope don’t fall now
they wanna leave
but trust in who you stand
[verse 1: jahaziel]
i know your upbringing
i know your background
i see you rise up
only to fall back down
against the odds
you didn’t back down
nah you come too far
to turn back now sister
it’s been a long road
but you made it here
through the struggle
through the stress
through the pain and tears
you’ve been praying for years
now your change is near
no more guilt
no more shame
your name has been cleared
i know their words hurt you
when they looked and they cursed you
now they shook cause he turned you
to a woman of virtue
your purse was broke
but what burns you the most
was getting tried
and criticized
by church folk
i know your dreams suffered
being a teen mother
for years
feeling like all you had
was each other
cause your baby’s dad
abandoned you both
you working two jobs
to manage and cope
you gotta stand on your hope girl
[chorus] x2
hope don’t fall now
they wanna leave
but trust in who you stand
[sister jones]
justice sits on the wall
sirens racing
streets are changing
he thinks he’s lost it all
friends have past
no one to call on
he knows there is something else
not enough to leave
too little to hold on
desperate to find himself
who will he turn to?
against all odds
he stands
knowing he could not be alone
you had a perfect plan
not for a minute were you gone
[chorus] x4
just don’t fall now
they wanna leave
but trust in who you stand
[verse 2: jahaziel]
i know your upbringing
i know your background
i see your rise up
only to fall back down
against the odds
you didn’t back down
nah you come too far
to turn back now brother
remember days
you was running on streets
always looking something to tief
cause nothing was cheap
wearing sneaks on your feet
just to run from police
chief under your sleeve
in case you run into beef
you was
young and naive
lots to learn
underachieved in school
but was not concerned
cause if worse comes to worst
you heard as long as cats need
rocks to burn
you got a lot to earn but yo
everybody gets the just return
friends got shot
made you want to
stop and turn
turn a page
turn from your wordly ways
turn away from a date
with an early grave
[verse 3: s2]
now you’ve
heard the story
of hope and just
glory to god
in him we put our
hope and trust
takes .. slowly
and makes them focused plus
forgets past
greets with the most open arms
he’ll sit down trodden
and soothes the broke with psalms
ever-loving
even when we oppose commands
how many people you know
will put
holes in palms
and feet
to give your soul a chance
we had
troubled upbringings
and shady backgrounds
we’ve been delivered
so you’ll never see us back round
to where he picked us from
can’t retrace our steps
and go back to our distant wrongs
we’ve been made anew
and he’ll make you too
but only you can make that
major move
a fresh chance awaits
at the dawn of day
so take heed to what the chorus say
sing it sister j
[sister jones]
don’t throw your life away
keep looking to him
he’s not too far away
he’ll get you through it
don’t turn your eyes away
keep looking to him
he’s not too far away
he’ll get you through it
