When We Get Get Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lord, I been walking this road With a clean heart, heavy load We say peace, we say grace But the hurt still knows my face Mama taught me hold my tongue Keep my hands where they belong Still, the night gets cold and long When the wrong keeps marching on [Pre-Chorus] So tell me, Lord How long? How long? I keep my fire in a cage Till the day You call my name [Chorus] When do we get get back? When do we get get back? We want mercy, want truth But the wound still wants some proof When do we get get back? When do we get get back? If You call me to the dark I’ll bring light with a guarded heart [Verse 2] I ain’t begging for a brawl I just know the weight of walls Some were made to stand the storm Some were born to keep us warm If I step where shadows bite It’s not rage, it’s Holy light I can throw my shoulders in Without loving what lies within [Pre-Chorus] So tell me, Lord How long? How long? I keep my fire in a cage Till the day You call my name [Chorus] When do we get get back? When do we get get back? We want mercy, want truth But the wound still wants some proof When do we get get back? When do we get get back? If You call me to the dark I’ll bring light with a guarded heart [Bridge] Make me strong and make me kind Keep revenge out of my mind If I have to take my stand Guide my fists with open hands Let the broken see me bend Let the bitter one relent I can face the thing in front Without becoming what it was [Final Chorus] When do we get get back? When do we get get back? We want mercy, want truth But the wound still wants some proof When do we get get back? When do we get get back? If You call me to the dark I’ll bring light with a guarded heart When do we get get back? When do we get get back? We don’t chase a hateful fire We just won’t be left outside
