BLACK SHEEP
GROWING UP THEY TOLD
ME
I MUST FOLLOW THE CROWD
READ THE BOOK OF SCRIPTURE
AND TO THOSE WORDS BE VOWED
THOUGH THROUGH THE YEARS I’VE SEEN
THINGS THAT LED ME TO DOUBT
NOWADAYS I DISMISS
THE WORDS THE PREACHER’S SPOUT
SO WHEN THEY SAY
(CHORUS)
PRAY TO THE LORD MY
SOUL TO KEEP
I SAY NO WAY YOU MAKE ME WEEP
I’VE GROWN UP TO BE THE BLACK SHEEP
KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY SURE MAKES ME CREEP
NO MORE AM I SUCKED IN THAT DEEP
I’VE GROWN UP TO BE THE BLACK SHEEP
THEY TOLD ME IF I SIN
I MUST KNEEL AND REPENT
MY SCARS MADE WHO I AM
I WON’T SING NO LAMENT
FOLLOWING MY OWN PATH
CHOOSING NOT TO BELIEVE
YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT
I WILL NOT BE DECEIVED
SO WHEN YOU SAY
(CHORUS)
I KNOW I MAY DO SOME
THINGS WRONG
BUT THESE DAYS I’M VERY HEADSTRONG
I’VE FOUND THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG
(SOLO)
YEH WHEN THEY SAY
(CHORUS)
NOW WHEN YOU SAY
(CHORUS)
I’VE GROWN UP TO BE
THE BLACK SHEEP
I’VE GROWN UP TO BE THE BLACK SHEEP
