How Many Lashes |
| April 2nd 2004 7pm |
| Sitting here speechless, |
| still kinda in awe, |
| my mind’s frozen, my soul’s closed in |
| on what I just saw |
| on the big screen, what big things happened |
| I saw like a nightmare |
| some cats cried, some try to be hard |
| like they didn’t care |
| Tell me why’d they do that? |
| I heard this little girl say |
| Mommy, why did they hurt Jesus |
| Ahhh- she’ll find out someday |
| with lashes on your back |
| even though hard to see |
| each one paints a perfect picture |
| of your love for me |
| Lash number one |
| For all the times I turned you away |
| Chasing after worldy things like money and fame |
| Lash number two |
| For all the times that I was so wrong |
| See I wasn’t strong enough to be alone |
| Lash number three |
| It’s cause you love me you see it’s hard to explain |
| You suffered 'cause you knew cause you knew someday |
| Our lives would exchange |
| How many lashes for my sins, Lord |
| did it take, I suppose |
| since we were not there |
| we will never know |
| How many lashes? |
| Did a check Lord |
| for that night that I lied |
| the night my Moms cried |
| cause she found out |
| I got high |
| I swore that night. |
| Instead of |
| chilling with you |
| there was that chick I got with |
| it was a chick I barely knew |
| I could go on all day |
| about all the things that I did |
| like that day I was talking mad-crazy |
| about leaving my wife and my kids |
| I know it’s hard to hear, but |
| please let me be real |
| Nah, I can’t lie to me no more |
| it’s the way that I feel |
| Lash number one |
| For all the times I turned you away |
| Chasing after worldy things like money and fame |
| Lash number two |
| For all the times that I was so wrong |
| See I wasn’t strong enough to be alone |
| Lash number three |
| It’s cause you love me you see it’s hard to explain |
| You suffered 'cause you knew cause you knew someday |
| Our lives would exchange |
| How many lashes for my sins, Lord |
| did it take, I suppose |
| since we were not there |
| we will never know |
| How many lashes? |
| Just for me… |
| He did it just, he did just it just for me |
| Just for me… |
| He did just it, he did just it just for me |
| Just for me… |
| He did it just, he did just it just for me |
| Just for me… |
| He did it just, he did just it just for me |
| And as this moment comes to an end |
| When you look at the world |
| I wonder — would you do it again? |
| Was it worth the change |
| Do we embarrass your name |
| When you see us at the church, |
| tell me — are you ashamed? |
| You’ll get a shout out at the Grammy’s |
| On side B you’ll get a song (word up!) |
| we’ll call you when we need you |
| when all other options are gone |
| Because you love us |
| And it hasn’t changed today |
| And inside if you’re still hurting |
| I’d feel the same way |
| Lash number one |
| For all the times I turned you away |
| Chasing after worldly things like money and fame |
| Lash number two |
| For all the times that I was so wrong |
| See I wasn’t strong enough to be alone |
| Lash number three |
| It’s cause you love me you see it’s hard to explain |
| You suffered 'cause you knew cause you knew someday |
| Our lives would exchange |
| How many lashes for my sins, Lord |
| did it take, I suppose |
| since we were not there |
| we will never know |
| How many lashes? |
| Just for me… |
| He did it just, he did just it just for me |
| Just for me… |
| He did it just, he did just it just for me |
