I’ve been here before
staring at a blank page
waiting for the touch
chasing down a muse that don’t like me much
I’ve been here before
stretched out like a man under desert skies
praying for the rain with a thirst inside
oh, I’ve been here before
and I’ll tell you what I’ve seen
the hand of grace reaches down to me
a voice inside says I will be free
I’ve been here before
wrapped up in a blanket trying to face the day
looking for a reason and a better way
I’ve been here before
shaking in my anger
smoking like a gun
wonderin’ why I can’t do better than I’ve done
chorus
I’ve been here before
resting in a pasture, honey on my tongue
resting by still waters
I’ve been here before
feasting at a table in a barren land
sayin’ I’ll never doubt never doubt again
sayin’ I’ll never doubt never doubt again
chorus
a voice inside says I will be free
