Chapter 1: How Many Lashes?
Sitting here speechless...still kinda in awe
My mind's frozen...soul closed in from
What I just saw
On the big screen, what big things happen
I saw like a nightmare
Some cats cried some tried to be hard
Like they didn't care
"Tell me why did they do that?"
I heard this little girl say.
"Mommy why'd they hurt Jesus?"
Ahh-she'll find out someday
With lashes on your back....
Even though hard to see
Each one paints a perfect picture
Of your love for me
Lash #1
For all the times I turned you away
Chasing after worldly things like
Money and fame
Lash #2
For all the times that I was so wrong
See I wasn't strong enough to be alone
Lash #3
It's 'cause you love you see it's hard to explain
You suffered 'cause you knew someday
Our lives would exchange
How many lashes, for my sins Lord
Did he take?
I suppose (since we were no there)
We will never know...how many lashes?
Did a check, Lord, for that night that I lied
The night my moms cried 'cause she
Found out I got high
I swore that night. Instead of
Chillin' with you...
There was a chick I got with. It was a
Chick I barely knew
I could go all day about the things I did
Like the day I was talking mad crazy about
Leaving my wife and kids
"I know it's hard to hear but please
Let me be real"
Nah I can't life to me no more
"It's the way I feel"
Just for me...
He did it just for me
This is real love here...
Just for me...
And as this moment comes to an end
When you look down at the world I wonder
Would you do it again?
"Was it worth the change?"
Do we embarrass your name?
When you see us at church, tell me
Are you ashamed?
You'll get a shout out at the Grammy's
On side B you'll get a song (word up!)
And we'll call you when we need you
When all other options are gone
"Because you love us"
And it hasn't changed today
And inside if you're still hurting
I'd feel the same way

How Many Lashes?
I didn't get to even listen to the song...I read the lyrics in the booklet first, then turned into what the Govenator would describe as a "girly man". Such an awesome song.
