needtobreathe – survival (live) lyrics
[verse 1]
i got the devil on my throat
i got blood on my hands
the ones that i love are in danger
i’m a fallen man
but i found me a river
and it washes me clean
i know that i’m drownin’ for tryin’
but i’ll never leave
[chorus]
i know that i’m found
but i can’t keep from hidin’
i don’t have a choice
but i get stuck decidin’
i am a man in need of
a constant revival
jesus, come quickly, i need you for my survival
[verse 2]
i got a lock on my soul
i’ll never let you in
got the hounds of h+ll chasin’
my time’s runnin’ thin
but i found me a rhythm
and it breaks down my gates
know that it’s hard to just listen
but i’m makin’ my case
[chorus]
know that i’m found
but i can’t keep from hidin’
i don’t have a choice
but i get stuck decidin’
i am a man in need of
a constant revival
jesus, come quickly, i need you for my survival
[bridge]
like flowers need sunlight
oceans need high tide
like men need a long life
to know that they ain’t right
like lions need their pride
it’s a matter of your time
i need you if i wanna survive
[chorus]
i know that i’m found
but i can’t keep from hidin’
i don’t have a choice
but i get stuck decidin’
i am a man in need of
a constant revival
jesus come quickly, i need you for my survival
[post+chorus]
play us something, josh lovelace
[interlude]
it’s been a long year
i wrote this song on a cruise ship
i’m not kidding, for real
about two weeks before covid hit
and i had no idea
how much i would need this survival during this time
but now we’ve gone from survival to revival
would you welcome madison ryann ward?
my left, your right
give us something
[verse 3]
let’s give ’em something to talk about
i said, let’s give ’em something to sing about
why don’t we give ’em something to write home about?
ooh, and i said, why don’t we give ’em something to laugh about?
[interlude]
y’all, give it up for my man calvin
[verse 4]
i was born by the river
in a little tent, oh yes
and i’ve been running ever since
you see, in 2021 a change is coming, oh, oh, yeah
change is gon’ come, yes it is
hey, do you want the change to come tonight? (the change gon’ come, yeah)
do you want the change to come tonight? (y’all need a change, oh yeah)
the change is coming
the change is coming
it’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming, yeah
yeah, yeah
change is coming, yes it is
yes it is
yes it is
hey (ooh)
yeah
[chorus]
know that i’m found (oh yeah)
but i can’t keep from hidin’
i don’t have a choice
but i get stuck decidin’
i am a man in need of
a constant revival
jesus come quickly, i need you for my survival
