The Altar Lyrics[Verse 1]
After tonight things won't be the same no more
Won't think about the pain no more
Shh, getting it right
Slippin' on the same old floors
Still steppin' in the same old doors
Life different tonight
Thinkin' 'bout who you gon' be
You see all of you in me
Yeah, I couldn't believe ya
Still I couldn't leave ya
[Pre-Chorus]
I was rollin' my weed up
Stressed out losing my sleep
Under covers tryna keep you from leaving
I was looking for Jesus
Somewhere where the water could freeze ya
Just praying don't make a believer
Goddamnit, I need ya
(Such a long way down hеre, tell me thеre's a way down here)
Goddamnit, I need ya
(Such a long way down here, talk about the ways I fear)
[Chorus]
Aye, we go back, we go forth, we come back again
It go up, we go down, ooh, back again
(At the altar)
I started it
(At the altar)
When I wanna get into your heart
I go up, I go forth, I go back again
It go up, fallin' down, coming back again
(At the altar)
On my head, on my hands, on my heart (at the altar)
Praise the lord
Oh my God, here we go
[Verse 2]
Don't let detours destroy what's before
You sacrifice the things soiled it's seed for
Cuz your love, and your love, and your love and your trust
Is so much it saved my day
I bring the sun up like SunTrust, the starlight, the thunder
Cuz I still see my fate
In the water
[Pre-Chorus]
When I be looking for Jesus
And ain't nobody else gonna believe this
But baby, I seen him
And I been feather and wing -less
But I ain't never ever been dreamless
And that's what belief is
Sometimes you gotta swallow the pieces
Just so you can see what the seed is
In the water, ooh
[Chorus]
Aye, we go back, we go forth, we come back again
It go up, we go down, ooh, back again
(At the altar)
I started it
(At the altar)
When I wanna get into your heart
I go up, I go forth, I go back again
It go up, fallin' down, coming back again
(At the altar)
On my head, on my hands, on my heart (at the altar)
Praise the lord
Oh my God, here we go
