[Verse 1: Lavell Jones]
|
Perfection is a state of mind
|
We're searching for a better day
|
Or we need a getaway car so we can get away, far
|
Cause isn't it bizarre
|
All I need is my piano and guitar, maybe cigar
|
Mayne, I'll be finer than I ever was
|
You can't doubt you gotta trust
|
People do believe in us
|
Well tell me what's the reason cause I was feeling down and out
|
What¡¯s my future all about?
|
How my life gonna turn out?
|
The thoughts of a struggling musician
|
Tryna' place my contribution in this world of pollution
|
This world of mass confusion
|
This world of all illusion
|
Mayne, but I'm gonna give my everything
|
I know you feel like you are searching for your everything
|
I know you feeling like, is he gonna care again
|
Girl I know you searching for that wedding ring
|
Or something just to feel complete
|
Or something just to help you sleep
|
I know you feeling like the devil¡¯s really on the creep
|
I know you feel, I know we feel like we are searching, now sing
|
|
[Hook: Eric Burton]
|
I've been waiting for the day
|
Want some light to shine my way
|
Been knocked down but I'm okay
|
I'm standing up again just to run
|
(He keep runnin', she keep runnin¡¯,
|
He keep runnin', we, so we runnin', but we never runnin' away from the light).
|
|
[Verse 2: Lavell Jones]
|
Pushing limits, breaking standards, tryna' climb the rope
|
How did we, get so far, we used to be so close
|
Clenching on, don't let go, hold on to that hope
|
Praying for the globe, will we get a second shot at life? Nope
|
So better live it all today
|
Why you stop? Go all the way
|
It¡¯s very true though it sounds so cliche,
|
My homie or hombre, espanol or ingles
|
Gotta do your thing mayne
|
And you can't please everyone man you'll find yourself in trouble
|
And how you enjoy success man if you ain't had to struggle
|
You say you wanna move that weight but do you got that muscle?
|
My homie you just stay humble
|
Somebody out there, they love you and really think the whole world of you
|
And me, I'll never judge you, I was you.
|

[Verse 3: Lavell Jones]
|
Runnin', I run faster
|
Runnin', for the green pasture
|
Freedom, and laughter
|
Turn the page, a new chapter
|
Slaves, to masters
|
Searching, find answers
|
Know, what you after
|
Go get, what you after
|
You after things watch out for your soul
|
See wisdom is much better than diamonds and gold
|
You, bearing a lot go take off a load
|
And we, decoding secrets keep that on the low
|
But keep this on the high
|
Be happy to be living not buried alive
|
I, know there¡¯s some feelings you just can't describe
|
But, go find the answers they lie with inside, you.
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
And I've been searching for it too
|
I want some light to shine
|
I¡¯ve been knocked down too,
|
But, I¡¯m standing up again just to run
|
