Yeah! I grew up in institutionalized church
But I love those folks, so I hope they know
That I don't mean no ill, I'm trying to heal folks
Too many youngin's my age just wanna feel close
Closer to God without all of the go-betweens
Without tradition interpreting what the scriptures mean
'Cause that's debatable dog, without the right lens
Lets talk culture though, you wanna dive in?
'Cause that's a bigger factor than what you placing you pride in
But you don't want to touch it, 'cause you don't want to get silenced?
Huh? What you mean? That's where you get your voice!
Freedom fighters live forever
Don't forget your boy
Martin Luther King smoked cig's and loved God too!
But you won't way he in hell, and that's why Millennials riding you
Well, we never let up, we just looking for honesty
Since plan b is apparently why you blocking me
I may not know where I'm going
But I know what I'm doing
I'm following my heart
Following my heart
Going where you lead me
I may not know where I'm going
But I know what I'm doing
I'm following my heart
Following my heart
Going where you lead me
Yeah! I know the torture of keeping yourself to yourself
And cain't share it
And every time you reach in, looking for a reason to vocalize it
The look on the worlds face is polarizing
It's hard to bare it
I turned preterits back in 2014
Early, to mid December
And oh, how I remember the whole shift
Mind racing, "How did I get back on this old cliff?"
At the point of breaking ties with my close-knits
My family!
And that's where it hit you the worse
Thinking, "They aint even my blood, but I'm going to church!"
Every Sunday, and every Tuesday, trying to do it like you say
Still smiling, but I'm packing my suitcase
Like, God help me!
Asking, "how do I go on?"
This all that I've ever known!
Too busy trying to be right, I was too scared to be wrong
But it's on now
I finally got the strength to gone and write me a song down
It took a minute but I right where I belong now
I may not know where I'm going
But I know what I'm doing
I'm following my heart
Following my heart
Going where you lead me
I may not know where I'm going
But I know what I'm doing
I'm following my heart
Following my heart
Going where you lead me
Im just following my heart
For you, for you, for you
Yeah! This last verse I dedicate to the torn
Whiplashed from witchcraft, forgetting why you was born
Religion painted a picture that showed you a fake you
Manipulated the mirror that made you forsake you
And all the dumb rules is stressing you out
And you wanna do is love God, but take a new route
I know you screaming, internally fighting demons for your last hoorah
Well, shoot ya shot, I just passed you the rock!
All in your hands is the power to tell the old you leaving
But you keep on letting fear interfere
And redefining you season
I release you to explore the things that they cain't teach you
Like, how they hold you back and then claim that they cain't reach you?
It's a done deal baby
It's time to get on your job
'Cause when the brook dries up, you gotta move from the pond
There's a whole life ahead of you still
You on the runway
And chance is, you might never find it, searching for Sunday
But one day
I may not know where I'm going
But I know what I'm doing
I'm following my heart
Following my heart
Going where you lead me
I may not know where I'm going
But I know what I'm doing
I'm following my heart
Following my heart
Going where you lead me
Im just following my heart
For you, for you, for you
(I may not know where I'm going
But I know what I'm doing
I'm following my heart
Following my heart
Going where you lead me
I may not know where I'm going
But I know what I'm doing
I'm following my heart
Following my heart
Going where you lead me
Im just following my heart
For you, for you, for you)
I wanna dedicate this song to the late Rachel Held-Evans
Because just like to me, she was a hero to so many other people
And had it not been for her contribution in her book, "Searching for Sunday"
I would've walked out the church and been bitter in my decision
But she helped me to understand that out of all the fights that I would fight
The one fight I didn't want to fight, was regret
So I followed my heart, and hadn't looked back yet
