Joey Diatte - Coffee Lyrics

You see Im not one for flattery
Although I do fall victim to that here and there
But truth is
That truth is the pendulum of dispair

You see I'm not one for sadness
But I do break out of a smile every once in a while
And if I'm not laughing to others its like I've drowned deep into the river nile

You see I'm not one for anger
But jealousy can destroy me
And make my life pretty messy

So I woke today with an agenda
To white my life clean of sour
And cling to him and sweet as Splenda

Cuz I'm not one for bitter drinks
I need some caramel and some sweet cream
But is that the promise
I need to be reminded that this isn't an agenda
But a realization of a life thats not lived on my own
Cuz are we promised sweetness all the time

Or will I have to drink from that cup every once in a while
But with my eyes open ill still see the cream that rises and makes my heart beguiled

Cuz Jesus doesn't promise happiness all the time

So thats why I'm not one for sadness, anger, or bitterness
But its in those times when the cream rises

Cuz life is the dark coffee and he is the cream and my cup is made bright
When I see whats in between
Me and God
Jesus brightens my day when their is no sun and smiles
Because he knows that I know what he has done
