Lyrics for Song: Face of the Earth / Chuck @ Artist Development Int
Lyrics for Album: Portable Sounds [2007]
It's been a long time coming
Since I saw your face
Since we held it down
Since we were in the chase
It was the road less traveled
The path less formed
A skinny trail
It was barely worn
But we kept on walkin' and slippin' and talkin'
and runnin' and fallin' and cryin' and crawlin'
We were in the trenches
On top of the world
Young refugees but we were momma's pearls
Where you been dog?
Where you been?
CHORUS
I thought you fell of the face off the earth ,
(I thought you fell, I thought you fell)
It's been way too long and we've come too far
For you drop out my life like a falling star
Right off my radar
Not a sign or a trace
You know I had love for you that's bigger than mistakes
Now Hope Road is calling
Let's pack you up and move
'Cause real friends are willing to intrude
So I'm gonna push in 'cause I wanna love you well
Let the ghosts of your past rest
CHORUS
Open up the door
This is the first day of the rest of your life
What are you waiting for?
This is the first day of the rest of your life
Open up the door
To life ,
"Behold I stand at the door and knock
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door
I will come in ," (Revelation 3:20)
*Piano Plays*
"Oh, this is great!"
This ain't no ordinary
This ain't no ordinary life
"That's ground-breaking"
"EMI Artist Development, Chuck speaking"
*fade in Boomin'*
"Yah, I'm listening to it right now"
"No, please don't change anything"
"No, don't add paint to a masterpiece."
"Hey look, can I give you a call back?"
"I can't hear you with the Freaks next door"
*door opens*
Everywhere we go they wonder where we're from
Well it's diverse city and-
"Hey guys"
"Yo what's up"
"Sorry to interupt you"
"It's cool"
"You the new A&R guy?"
"Yah I'm listening to this new tobyMac song uh Boomin'"
"Huh, you think?"
"Hey could you just turn it down a little bit, that'd be great..."
