In the Buddy Bye of Man

"I'VE BEEN KNOCKING''

You still punish yourself,

when God forgave you?

Still you destroy yourself

when Jesus has paid your dues?

"What are you so afraid of, do you still have no faith?"

No sir, I've just let my soul hide in waste

and try to escape

You see it's unsound uncertain

but weak

I need you so bad,

to remedy all I've wreaked

I've searched scoured & delved

with nothing found,

Just empty bottles

where my soul

Stayed drowned

Through the haze I still heard one sound

your knock was Almighty

Still I wouldn't

I couldn't come around

Insistently now,

you rang the door bell

And boy was that loud,

my daughter cried and cried

And in her shrieks

I couldn't deny

I could not tell one more lie

I opened the door

as the tears formed and poured

you hugged me and said:

"William, I've been waiting here so long

To tell you your great, and I love you,

And your nothing evil

You are nothing wrong,

So saddle up and go show my world the gifts you own

Let everybody see how strong you've been

All along

Remember my words Son

Even when this world makes you feel like you don't

Belong

You can't give up

If you believe in me

Until your limitless potential is unbounded

And completely set free."
