Текст песни You Gotta Hold of My Soul - Gerardo Mejia

Debating on what is the right thing to do
I'm taking this time off to ask you
Am I being a light on a hill?
Or is everything I'm doing against your will?

"What shall it profit a man if he has
Gained the world and lost his own soul?"
So then, why do you keep on giving
To the life I'm living
If this isn't my call?

Why do you do the things you do?
I'm so confused!
You know I ain't got no excuse
I hang around till I'm sound
From a previous knockdown
Then I'm off to the next round

So, here I am taking another swing
It ain't over till the fat lady sings
I'm far from perfect
But the world shall know
You've got a hold of my soul

I'm not here to change the world
No, I'm not about to play that role
I just wanna thank you Lord
You've gotta hold on my soul!

(You got my soul! ...)
(You got my soul)
(You got my soul! ...)
(You got my soul, ooh)

Now, what if we became as one?
There's too much I've already done
I've got a long list of the people I've dissed
It should send me where I belong

There's been too many "Bakker's"
Money makers that have hurt your flock
"Swaggart" was a stumbling block
And I'm not about to fill that spot

So, here I am taking another swing
It ain't over till the fat lady sings
I'm far from perfect
But the world shall know
You've got a hold of my soul

I'm not here to change the world
I'm not about to play that role
I just wanna thank you Lord
You've gotta hold on my soul!

(You got my soul! ...)
(You got my soul, ooh)
(You got my soul! ... ooh)

Only you know my intentions
I never questioned my redemption
But if I'm supposed to lead them near
What about the other songs they hear?

So, this is where we stand my friend
I'm leaving my life in your hands
I can't change my destiny
So, do with me whatever you can

I will fight and stand by your side
For what's right, well at least I'll try
But if I fall flat on my behind
Please, listen to my alibi

So, here I am taking another swing
It ain't over till the fat lady sings
I'm far from perfect
But the world shall know
You've got a hold of my soul

I'm not here to change the world
I'm not about to play that role
I just wanna thank you Lord
You've gotta hold on my soul!

(You got my soul! ...) (You got it!)
(You got my soul)
You've gotta hold on my soul!
(You got my soul! ...) (You got it!)
(You got my soul)
You've gotta hold on my soul!

Soul!... (You got it!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!
Soul!... (You got it, now save my sin on you!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!

Soul!...

So, here I am taking another swing
It ain't over till the fat lady sings
I'm far from perfect
But the world shall know
You've got a hold of my soul!

Soul!... (You got it!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!
Soul!... (You got it!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!

Soul!... (You got it!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!
Soul!... (You got it!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!

Soul!... (You got it!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!
Soul!... (You got it!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!

Soul!... (You got it, save my sin on you!)
You've gotta hold of my soul!
Soul!... (You got it!) ...
