[Verse 1] Ill tell you flat out It hurts so much to think of this So from my thoughts I will exclude The very thing that I hate more than everything is The way Im powerless To dictate my own moods [PreChorus 1] Ive thrown away So many things that couldve been much more And I just pray My problems go away if theyre ignored But thats not the way it works No, thats not the way it works [Chorus] When I go down I go down hard And I take everything Ive learned And teach myself some disregard When I go down It hurts to hit the bottom And all the things that got me there I think, If only I had fought them. [Verse 2] If and when I can Clear myself of this clouded mind Ill watch myself settle down Into a place where Peace can search me out and find That Im so ready to be found [PreChorus 2] Ive thrown away The hope I had in friendships Ive thrown away So many things that could have been much more Ive thrown away the secret To find an end to this And I just pray My problems go away if theyre ignored But thats not the way it works No, thats not the way it works [Chorus] When I go down When I go down I go down hard I go down hard And I take everything Ive learned And teach myself some disregard When I go down When I go down It hurts to hit the bottom And all the things that got me there I think, If only I had fought them. [Bridge 1] Any control I thought I had Just slips right through my hands While my everpresent conscience Shakes its head and reprimands me Reprimands me Then and there I confess Ill blame all this on my selfishness Yet You love me And that consumes me And Ill stand up again And do so willingly [Bridge 2] You give me hope And hope, it gives me life You touch my heavy heart And when You do You make it light As I exhale Ah I hear Your voice And I answer You Ah Though I hardly make a noise And from my lips Ah The words I choose to say Seem pathetic Ah But its a fallen mans praise Cause I love You Oh God, I love You [Bridge 3] Bababa Bababa, bababa Bababa Bababa, bababa And life is now worth living Bababa If only because of You Bababa, bababa And when they say that I am dead and gone Bababa It wont be further from the truth Bababa, bababa [Outro] When I go down I lift my eyes to You I wont look very far Cause Youll be there With open arms To lift me up again To lift me up again
bababa, thrown, ah, reprimand, work
