Turbulence - Cole DeRuse, J. Paul

You know there are times in life when/

You come across people that you think are your friends/

But really, they’re your friend because it’s convenient/

And you have something that they want/

It’s sad man… but the best thing I’ve learned you can do/

In that situation, is try to forgive them/

Pack your bags and just move on/

Yeah, our hearts were nearly broken, by the people that we trusted most when

They took us in, became our friends, then forgot us in the middle of the ocean

All alone and stranded, on a boat abandoned, and I’m still

Tryin' to, figure out what the heck just happened, I don’t really have an

answer granted

We were open handed, full of hopeful standards, but that was a weakness

Let our guards down for a season, but I’ll never do it again cause that damage

Was too great, it’s too late, this new day, is two-faced/

It made us panic, throw away everything that we built up and vanish

We had to get away get safe, get our own place with a bit of breathing space

And even though we escaped, there’s still a bunch of wounds underneath this

bandage

We left feelin' disenchanted but then this plane landed with God commandin'

So we say goodbye layin' eyes on this new chapter with a brand new canvas

Things were rocky, I was afraid to crash and die

I’ve been up and down, and swayed from side to side

Send out a mayday, cuz we’re fallin' out the sky

If there’s any chance can you save me from the fire?

Here comes the turbulence

The sky was gray and formin', a little bit of what I call stormin'

Early mornin' pourin' down, so morbid now this rain is horrid

Plus I’m foreign, to the way things, should be handled when things change

But they did now I’m livin' with it just prayin' we maintain orbit cuz I’m

10,000 feet up, way up high, feelin' pretty beat up, enough

Time to clean up these deep cuts fighting the lie that you don’t really needs us

Because we lust and bleed just like everyone alive are you also gonna leave us?

Flee us, out of disgust like refugees but I really wanted you to lead us

Turbulence can be violent, when you travel through an unknown climate

I should trust you, but I’m unglued not really knowin' what you’re up to flyin'

Over highlands, over islands, what’s the mileage?

I can’t even see the ground

So I close my eye-lids, growin' silent, hopin' I live, oh my God I need you now

Things were rocky, I was afraid to crash and die

I’ve been up and down, and swayed from side to side

Send out a mayday, cuz we’re fallin' out the sky

If there’s any chance can you save me from the fire?

Here comes the turbulence

Stepped off the plane I’m anxious, wife and daughter beside me

This leap of faith I’m takin', trustin' God’s right behind me

You’re the only way that' we’ll ever make it, our one chance of surviving

If I get lost on the waters while I’m on earth, I know that you are gonna guide

me

Stepped off the plane I’m prayin', wife and daughter beside me

This leap of faith I’m takin', trustin' God’s right behind me/

You’re the only way that' we’ll ever make it, our one chance of surviving

If I get lost on the waters while I’m on earth, I know that you are gonna guide

me

Things were rocky, I was afraid to crash and die

I’ve been up and down, and swayed from side to side

Send out a mayday, cuz we’re fallin' out the sky

If there’s any chance can you save me from the fire?

Here comes the turbulence
