The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost

Lights are shining bright, it's always downtown on the road

I have friends that come from outta town, asking me to go

They say, "There's so much going on

Why don't you come along and show us around?"

I tell them Karen's not feeling well,

So I probably shouldn't go out

Besides I've gotta fix a list of things

I need to do around the house

Then I hang up the phone

Turn the radio back on, and sit back down

I know my boy ain't here, but he ain't gone

In the morning, I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen

Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition

Go outside, sit by myself, but I ain't alone

I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

I've been beat up, I've been pushed and shoved,

But never really knocked down

Between mom and dad, Uncle Sam and friends,

I somehow always pulled out

But the pain of this was more

Than I'd ever felt before, yeah, I was broke

I cried and cried and cried until I passed out on the floor

Then I prayed and prayed and prayed

Till I thought I couldn't pray anymore

And minute by minute, day by day, my God, He gave me hope

I know my boy ain't here, but he ain't gone

In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen

Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition

Go outside, sit by myself, but I ain't alone

See, I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

I hope, I love, I pray, I cry

I heal a little more each day inside

I won't completely heal till I go home

In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen

Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition

Go outside, sit by myself, but I ain't alone

I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

One day I'll wake up and I'll be home

With the Father, my son

And the Holy Ghost
