My soul is strapped with sorrow
As I worry about tomorrow
Will I make it through those gates? Will I falter at the plate?
The dreams I had lay shattered as life stacks up against me
I'm not trying to complain, but things just aint the same
I ‘ve lost a few of my closest friends and my enemies now pretend
To hold me down when hard times come but the holding never ends
They're taking what I give them and everything I don't
I got no strength to fuss and fight
when the customer's always right
I didn't know that I had been selling my hopes and dreams so cheap
I tried to walk away in victory but I fell to my knees in defeat
When will I learn
When will I learn
You stand too close to the fire
You end up getting burned
When will I learn
When will I learn
To lift my head and carry on
Though this world seems unconcerned
So I'll lace up my boots in the morning and give a try just the same
The bright lights of this world
could never hold a candle to your flame
Your peace and understanding, your mercy I have breathed
You only ask for what you give, so why can't I believe
When the darkness falls upon me, I struggle to see your face
I wanna trust in the coming of your strength
to lift me from this place
So I'll keep moving on, I'll keep pushing strong
Zion's gates are not far long, so I must carry on Lord…
When will I learn
When will I learn
You stand to close to the fire
You end up getting burned
When will I learn
When will I learn
To lift my head and carry on
Though this world seems unconcerned
