Get It Yourself

[UpwiththeSun]

Get It yourself

You don't understand me
a dreamer
not a schemer
I wanted to stay
I had to run away

I had to run to thrive
so I could feel alive
I ran from the wind
trying to reach the end

Can't explain what I feel
it's easier to conceal
I want you to know
I want you to grow

You've got to get it yourself
I can't take you
Can't make you
Get it yourself

With a father like mine
a preacher
not a teacher
told me what to see
when I needed to believe

I won't say it was a breeze
I did not get there with ease
Looking in the wrong place
when I was surrounded by Grace

Can't explain what I feel
it's easier to conceal
I want you to know
I want you to grow

You've got to get it yourself
I can't take you
Can't make you
Get it yourself

Can't explain what I feel
it's easier to conceal
I want you to know
I want you to grow

You've got to get it yourself
I can't take you
Can't make you
Get it yourself

Another positive piece. Nice plea to enter into the experiencal side of life. Thanks for sharing it.

And love is not the easy thing... The only baggage you can bring... Is all that you can't leave behind.

I love this. In four short phrases, you've summed up what I feel. I can't stand it when people try and tell me what I should believe, what I should feel, what I should be. Faith is a private thing. It has to be. Anyone who says they have the answers is in my mind missing the questions. Get it yourself. Amen to that.......
