The Cross

[Chorus: Lianne La Havas] I'll go through the fire I'll go through the fire for you It don't even matter What it requires I'll go through the fire for you [Verse 1: Common] It started with [?] our Father More than ever, I need you now, Father Fear don't live far away Them yesteryears ain't where they are today Who gon' be the saints of the modern day Mistakes are tuition that we gotta pay From whom much is taken, much is cherished Lord deliver us, hoping that we get the message [Chorus: Lianne La Havas] This diamond is just a stone This building is just for show A wonderful piece of paper That put me atop the throne Going through tribulations This hunger won't let me go This hunger won't let me go This hunger won't let me go Seeing so many faces That do or die by the cold I'll go through the fire I'll go through the fire for you It don't even matter What it requires I'll go through the fire for you [Verse 2: Common] In search of golden wings and a chariot If Jesus died on the cross, why I gotta carry it? I know the struggle is our heritage Certain pieces of pain can't be parented Don't wanna fall in the same place my parents did The sins of the Father inherited Sometimes I feel my life is an experiment I'm driven but God's wheel is steering it I focus on the road heavy as my eyelids In a world where power is parallel to violence It won't change if we remain in silence See it through, look inside for the guidance Humanity is where the honor and the pride is For those who can't no more, tears I'ma cry [?] Now I decipher who my tribe is And live a life to know what the other side is [Chorus: Lianne La Havas] This diamond is just a stone This building is just for show A wonderful piece of paper That put me atop the throne Going through tribulations This hunger won't let me go This hunger won't let me go This hunger won't let me go Seeing so many faces That do or die by the cold I'll go through the fire I'll go through the fire for you It don't even matter What it requires I'll go through the fire for you
