Paying My Dues

J. Brooke Martin
7/8/99

Well, it's happened again
Not sure what went wrong.
Just when it seemed to be in reach
In one moment, it was gone.

So, look to God for answers,
I know in time He'll give
But right now, heaven seems silent
And I don't know how I'll live

Chorus:
But I'll be ok,
I'll be fine.
I've been here before,
I've done my time.
So for now I'll just hold on
And make it through just one more day

There's times I think it's all in vain
I wonder why I keep playing this game
But inside I know there is something more,
And one day I'll find what I've been looking for

It's out there waiting if I can just find
The patience to wait till it becomes mine
Lord, grant me the wisdom, just to hold on
Cause right now I know I don't feel all that strong.

Chorus:
But I'll be ok,
I'll be fine.
I've been here before,
I've done my time.
So for now I'll just hold on
And make it through just one more day

Bridge:
What make this so hard,
Why can't love stay.
I don't recall the fairy tales ending this way

Maybe next time the feelings will stay
And he won't leave and I won't run away
But till that time comes, I'll just work on today.

Chorus:
But I'll be ok,
I'll be fine.
I've been here before,
I've done my time.
So for now I'll just hold on
And make it through just one more day
(Repeat Chorus)
