The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
There's so much craziness surrounding me There's so much going on it gets hard to breathe All my faith has gone you bring it back to me You make it real for me Well I'm not sure of my priorities I've lost site of where I'm meant to be And like holy water washing over me You make it real for me And I'm running to you baby You are the only one who save me That's why I've been missing you lately 'Cause you make it real for me When my head is strong but my heart is weak I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty But I can find the words You teach my heart to speak You make it real for me And I'm running to you baby You are the only one who save me That's why I've been missing you lately 'Cause you make it real for me Everybody's talking in words I don't understand You got to be the only one Who knows just who I am And you shine in the distance I hope I can make it through 'Cause the only place That I want to be Is right back home with you I guess there's so much more I have to run But if you're here with me I know which way to turn You always give me somewhere, Somewhere I can run You make it real for me And I'm running to you baby You are the only one who save me That's why I've been missing you lately 'Cause you make it real for me You make it real for me
