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
