Face Of The Earth · letra

Intro

(Face of the earth)

Verse

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 walkin' and slippin' and talking' 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 off the face of the earth (I thought you fell, I thought you fell) I thought you fell off the face of the earth (I thought you fell off, I thought you fell off)

Verse

It's been way too long and we've come too far For you to drop out of 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'ma push you in 'cause I wanna love you well Let the ghosts of your past rest

Chorus

I thought you fell off the face of the earth (I thought you fell, I thought you fell) I thought you fell off the face of the earth (I thought you fell off, I thought you fell off)
I thought you fell off the face of the earth

Bridge

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

Chorus

Ooh, I thought you fell off the face of the earth (I thought you fell, I thought you fell) I thought you fell off the face of the earth (I thought you fell off, I thought you fell off)

Outro

Open up the door (open up the door) This is the first day of the rest of your life (I thought you fell off) What are you waiting for? This is the first day of the rest of your life (I thought you fell off)
Open up the door Open up the door to life Open up the door, what are you waiting for? Open up the door to life

Spoken

Behold, I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voice and opens the door I will come in...

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, "Boomin'" stops]*
Hey, guys... (Yo, wassup?) (Hey, man) Sorry to interrupt ya... (It's cool) You the new A&R guy? (Yeah, I am, listenin' to this new tobyMac song, uh, "Boomin'") Huh, ya think? Hey, can you just turn it down a little bit? That'd be great...
