Back Where I Belong

A simple song of faith that cuts a little close to home…

Danny Milligan - Back Where I Belong

BACK WHERE I BELONG

Some days I hate you for this road that I’m on
I know you put me here to teach me my wrongs
When I face my weakness then I learn to be strong
But it’s hard, just trying to hold on
Some days I love you just 'cause you set me free
I’m lost in wonder at the love you gave me
Those times I ponder why I just couldn’t see
the destination that you’ve planned for me…

And now I’m
Fighting hard, with tooth and nail
to stay the course, and never fail
To run this race, I don’t care how long
until I’m with you…back where I belong

Sometimes I stumble, take my eyes off the prize
it’s times like this, you make me realize
No middle ground, there’s no compromise
Can’t get to you, until my inner man dies
The road is long, and the valley’s deep
The shadow’s darkest where the way is steep
But there’s a trust in you that I must keep
The Shepherd who died for His sheep…

And now I’m
Fighting hard, with tooth and nail
to stay the course, I refuse to fail
I’ll run this race, I don’t care how long
until I’m with you…back where I belong
I’m fighting hard, to keep my faith
don’t want your sacrifice to be a waste
I know how many times I’ve done you wrong
now I’m down on my knees… back where I belong

I cannot walk on water, unless you’re walking with me
But you won my love, forever, at a place called Calvary

So now I’m
Fighting hard, with tooth and nail
to stay the course, I refuse to fail
I’ll run this race, I don’t care how long
until I’m with you…back where I belong
I’m fighting hard, to keep my faith
don’t want your sacrifice to be a waste
I know how many times I’ve done you wrong
now I’m down on my knees… back where I belong

I’ll listen tomorrow Danny - I’m fried - just did a 4 hour gig and can’t hear nuthin - huh? who said that?

Hi dannyraymilligan:
The link you posted opened… However, I was unable to download the file… It started and then stopped… I’m not sure what the issue is… ????

Bill…

Reminds me of my writing when I was a young man. Themes and novellas. Try to say what you wrote in that in 12 lines, maybe 16 with a bridge. Right now it’s sittin’ around 40 lines…
Just my advice - take 'er or leave 'er.

Nice overall feel, Danny.

Bill, my website has been having issues with crashing, the last few days. I was unable to even upload a new song to it this morning, I had to turn it into a video and put it on youtube so that I could post it here…
