First things first Lately, I've been
I'ma say all the words inside my head I've been losing sleep
I'm fired up and tired of Dreaming about the things that we could be
The way that things have been, oh-ooh But baby, I've been
I've been praying hard Second things second Said, no more counting dollars
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be We'll be counting stars
I'm the one at the sail
I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh Yeah, we'll be counting stars The master of my sea,oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh I see this life like a swinging vine
I was broken from a young age Swing my heart across the line
Taking my sulkin' to the masses And in my face is flashing signs
Writing my poems for the few Seek it out and ye' shall find
That look at me, took to me, shook at me, feelin' me Old, but I'm not that old
Taking my message from the veins Young, but I'm not that bold
Speaking my lesson from the brain And I don't think the world is sold
Seeing the beauty through the... On just doing what we're told Pain! You made me a, you made me a I feel something so right
Believer, believer By doing the wrong thing
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain And I feel something so wrong
My life, my love, my drive, it came from… By doing the right thing
Pain! You made me a, you made me a
Believer, beliver I couldn't lie
Third things third Couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Send a prayer to the ones up above Everything that kills me
All the hate that you've heard Makes me feel alive
Has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh Lately, I've been
I was chokin' in the crowd I've been losing sleep
Building my rain up in the cloud Dreaming about the things that we could be
Falling like ashes to the ground But baby, I've been
Hoping my feelings, they would drown I've been praying hard
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin' Said, no more counting dollars
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down We'll be counting stars
It rained down, like… Lately, I've been
Pain! You made me a, you made me a I've been losing sleep
Believer, believer Dreaming about the things that we could be
Pain! You break me down, you build me up But baby, I've been I've been praying hard
Believer, believer Said, no more counting dollars
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain We'll be counting stars
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a I feel your love and I feel it burn
Believer, believer Down this river every turn
Last things last Hope is our four-letter word
By the grace of the fire and the flames Make that money, watch it burn
You're the face of the future
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh Old, but I'm not that old
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh Young, but I'm not that bold
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin' And I don't think the world is sold
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained downnot that old On just doing what we're told
It rained down, like… And I feel something so wrong
Pain! You made me a, you made me a By doing the right thing
Believer, believer I couldn't lie
Pain! You break me down, you build me up Couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Believer, believer Everything that drowns me
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain Makes me wanna fly
My life, my love, my drive, it came from… Lately, I've been
Pain! You made me a, you made me a I've been losing sleep
