George Jones - The Ceremony lyrics

the day i left you was the worst mistake i ever made

was ready to become something i didn't need you dragging me down

thought your love just wasn't enough

my hair combed, nice shoes tied tight

was ready to conquer life

help unwanted i can do this on my own and then i found myself wounded

tripping over myself, falling and scraping my knee

sadness fills for i know i've failed

why did i leave scared to go back

hoping you'll take me in with open arms

but also know the hurt i've caused

the breeze of angel wings

standing there a midst of lowers of every being

tears grow and orchestra begins to play

what a beautiful day, why are you alone

run child it's time for you to go home

wounded spirit face in the dirt

i cry out for you to take me in

your heart holds me close, and

i look up to face this world which so scares me

faith in you loneliness just seems to fade.

the man once inside now a child walking in your footsteps

hoping held leaves under feet from the trees of fall

listening to autumn's call

a deep breathe to continue on, fragile

depending on you Christ carry's me the rest of the walk
