saint james - where the road turns lyrics

hook [jenny b]
since you’ve been away, i’ve been down and lonely
since you’ve gone away, i’ve been thinking of you
trying to understand, the reason you left me
what were you going through?
oooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh oooh
i’m missing you
tell me where the road turns (echo)

verse 1 [saint james]
i’m going through some things which only you could understand
how lord jesus do i fill for your plan?
i’m a soldier in these streets, a boss from the old
with the game on froze, cause my blood ran cold
i lived in the fast lane, cocaine
i boss on these streets, i was known as the dope man
living life to the fullest, at least i thought
jesus christ let me know, i could’ve bought
i put in work with the homies, kept it way too real
it’s a shark attack, heart attack, when we spraying that steel
and the woman i love, played foolish games
so i harness the hate, just to cope with the pain
i couldn’t stand the rain, stormy weather, dark nights
and i couldn’t hold on to the love of my life
with so many faults, i felt like i was to blame
so it pushed me off the edge, nearly drove me insane

verse 2 [saint james]
so many tears, i started smoking that dope
it was ride or die for real, because i lost all hope
but my method to cope, caught me off in a haze
dope couldn’t satisfy the love that i craved
felt like a rat in a maze, i couldn’t see my ways
they thought i was crazed, the way the bullets would blaze
you opened up my eyes, i was living a lie
a deceitful disguise, lead to lethal demise
you pulled me out of darkness and you showed me the way
i pray for my homies, up in pelican bay
cause it could’ve been me, spending life in the cage
pulling down calendars, and pumped up with rage
but you held me close, and you showed me your love
the price that you paid at the cross with your blood
first the enemy came on crawling, and my flesh had me bawling
i gave into temptation, when that dope started calling

verse 3 [saint james]
i don’t know where i’m going, but i know where i’ve been
had to be your blood that could conquer my sin
yet betrayed you again, with my evil desires
my flesh is so cunning and my spirit is tired
i want to call on your name, leave my burden and pain
guilt got me discouraged and i’m feeling ashamed
i got no where to run, and where can i hide?
like a wave in the sea, being tossed by the tide
i need a little bit of mercy and a whole lot of grace
the lord is the author and the finisher of my fate
with just one touch ain’t no fighting the feeling
i’m the vessel in the street that’s going to feed your children
if you’re ready and willing, he’ll lead you out of the dark
just confess with your mouth and believe in your heart
he’s the king of kings, and the lord of lords
he paid that price, knowing none of us could afford

hook [jenny b] 2x
since you’ve been away, i’ve been down and lonely
since you’ve gone away, i’ve been thinking of you
trying to understand, the reason you left me
what were you going through?
oooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh oooh
i’m missing you
tell me where the road turns (echo)
