Hmm, oh, talk to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, talk to me
Alone in a room
It's just me and you
I feel so lost
Cause I don't know what to do
Now what if I choose
The wrong thing to do
I'm so afraid
Afraid of disappointing you
So I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
Especially today
When my mind feels so cloudy
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart, oh yeah
My hopes and dreams
Are fading fast
I'm all burnt out
And I don't think my strength's gonna last
So I'm crying out, crying out to you
Lord I know that you're the only one
Who is able to pull me through
So I know I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
Especially today
When my world feels so cloudy
Lord guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart, oh yeah
Yes I do
Show me how to do things your way
Don't let me make the same mistakes - over and over again
Thy will be done and I'll be the one
To make sure that it's carried out
And in me you will have no doubt
That's why
I wanna talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
And especially today
When my world seems just a little bit cloudy
Lord you can guide me through
That's why I open up, I open up my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart
All I need to do is hear a single word from you, ooh
I open, I open, open up my heart
Just one word can make a difference in what I do Lord
Guide until I'm sure
I open, I open, I open, I open my heart
Lord you just say one word, one word, one word
One word, one word
I open, I open, open up, open up my heart to you, to you
You're the lover of my soul
The captain of my sea
I need a word from you
That's why I open up my heartWell, I recall days in the city
And I think back, "Oh what a pity"
Rememberin' how it wasn't pretty
Every day life in the city
Out in the street we had to take it
With friends around, couldn't it
What wasn't there, we had to make it
Hangin' out down in the city
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
We had to fight to be accepted
It wasn't right and I protested
For hangin' out we got arrested
Every day life in the city
We'd go to school and then we'd cut out
Go to the park and space our heads out
We called it fun but there was some doubt
Hangin' out down in the city
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, now I'm on the right track, yeah
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, 'cause I'm on the right track
Now I'm on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
