This Time
=======
{ A, B, D, A }
I called you up, I heard your cries
I had to open up your ears, and your eyes
I spoke aloud, the world spun ‘round
My heart I gave to you, yeah, in melancholy sound
Will you be mine, this time
Or will you turn away from all I say
And go on in the same way, blind, this time
I think you owe it to yourself to see
Just what He wants from you, and me
--
Along the way, I thought to say
Just what I knew that might keep you from goin’ astray
I walked awhile, along the road
I carried love beneath the stones that you did throw
Will you be mine, this time
Or will you turn away from all I say
And go on in the same way, blind, this time
I think you owe it to yourself to see
Just what He wants from you, and me
--
I’m askin’ you, your anger to resist
Take a chance to find those things, that you have only missed
What is love, if love you cannot show
Don’t deny me in those things, you think you know
Will you be mine, this time
Or will you turn away from all I say
And go on in the same way, blind, this time
I think you owe it to yourself to see
Just what He wants from you, and me
This time
This time
