Turner Stricklin - Hope Lyrics

How much of my father am I destined to become
Will I be an honest man cause Lord knows that I'm not now
When my time comes to an end will I stand and take a bow
Can I keep up with the change inside or will I just fall out

How much of my mother will I inherit over time
Will I learn to stand up tall and to gather piece of mind
Will I listen to the people who tell me to plants roots and stay
Will I let them see inside of me or push them all away

I need some time alone
I need some time to grow
I need some time to have with just me and God
I need some time to get a dose
Of Hope

How much like my brothers do my brothers want to be
Will I ever be like them or is it just not meant to be
Will I ever be the man inside I know that they all see
Can I catch the wind in my broken sails or am I lost at sea
How much of sister does my sister see in me
Will I stand up to the crowds just to protect somebody
Will I learn to ignore what others think of me
Will I ever take into account my own fears and doubts

I need some time alone
I need some time to grow
I need some time to have with just me and God
I need some time to get a dose
Of Hope

How much of myself will I sometime outgrow
The things I love today will I still love tomorrow
Will I learn to control and not pass the point of no return
Will I make all the worst mistakes or can I really learn

I need some time alone
I need some time to grow
I need some time to have with just me and God
I need some time to get a dose
Of Hope
Of Hope
Of Hope
Of Hope
