lyrics
Maybe god doesn't want me to be happy, now why would that be true?
I was born of my mama and my daddy done the best that I could do.
It appears there’s some divine misunderstanding or a consecrating point of view.
I’m not asking you for something fancy just a smile’s a little overdue.
Maybe god doesn’t want me to be happy so I guess I’ll just be blue.
Maybe god doesn’t hear me when I’m cryin’ and I been cryin’ so long.
I don’t believe that it’s a lack of tryin’ just maybe I’ve been doing it wrong.
Could be you’re still decidin’ and you’ve been listening all along.
I won’t take your silence for implying that girl’s a little too far gone.
Maybe god doesn’t hear me when I’m cryin’ so I guess I’ll sing him a song.
Maybe god doesn’t have a little room left in heaven for a gal like me.
Maybe I’m expectin’ a flower to bloom where he only ever planted a weed.
I don’t need no fame or fortune, although the devil may not agree.
I wouldn’t mind you saving up a portion for a child or a honeybee.
Maybe god doesn’t have a little room so I guess I’ll just be free.
