Lord, keep these mouths from longing Keep, these walls from falling I put my time in plenty Provide for my family (Have I been Remiss) Oh, have I, have I been remiss (Have I been remiss) Oh, Have I, have I been Have I been remiss Her heart is coolin' on me We comfort through our baby He's walking, talking newly What am I to my family Lord, have I been Have I been remiss And we've lived behind walls That have made us alone Searching for pieces That may be old How in the world Is another one gone Out in the world Are we going down down down Lord, Keep these wheels a turnin Keep, these roads from burnin I put my time in family Have mercy, forgive me So trip the path i'm meeting Its all I know to give them Whisper a prayer in tatters And hope it mattered Hope it mattered I hope it mattered And we've lived behind walls That have made us alone Searching for pieces That may be old How in the world Is another one gone Out in the world Down Down Down
