After All (Rayford’s Song)

Текст песни Bob Carlisle - After All (Rayford’s Song)

I stumble to the mirror
Say everything's all right
But the man in the mirror never lies
The aging face I see staring back at me
Shows the years, shows the miles

Now I'm no perfect husband
But I do so love my wife
And my kids are the greatest gift I know
But sometimes when I'm alone
I still wrestle with my soul
And start feeling out of place
Like a lost boy trying to get back home

But after all
The heartache and the pain
All the bridges I have crossed
And the ones I've left in flames
After all
The sorrow and regret
All the times I've turned away
When You'd call, You still love me
After all

The story of my life
I keep hidden deep inside
Like a book collecting dust upon a shelf
But it's there inside of me
That man that no one sees
The one that falls apart
But I'm strong enough to never let it show
Still after all
The heartache and the pain
All the bridges I have crossed
And the ones I've left in flames
After all
The sorrow and regret
All the times I've turned away
When You'd call, You still love me
After all

Now I don't pretend to know
Why the truth has been so slow
To go the distance
From my head down to my heart
I know the journey's not that great
But for all the time it takes
I'd swear that we were worlds apart

Still after all
The heartache and the pain
All the bridges I have crossed
And the ones I've left in flames
After all
The sorrow and regret
All the times I've turned away
When You'd call, You still love me
After all
