lyrics

Last week God came to my house,
And he sold me a purty Persian mat
Since then things been looking brighter
And it compliments the furnishings in my flat

I got a raise, nearly doubling my pay
The girls been giving me the eye
The things I used to worry bout every single day
Felt like they're bout a million miles, away

But then God pulled the rug from under me
Now I'm lying flat on my back
The lord giveth and the lord taketh away
I wish the lord with put the rug back

Things sure look different,
when looking up from below
I scraped the bottom of the barrel
so hard, that I made a hole

Just big enough to squeeze through,
and hide away my shame.
I done cursed the lord almighty,
but I know I'm the one to blame

If Icarus had a second chance
he wouldn't have soared so high.
And if Romeo could do it all again
He wouldn't kiss those lips that night

And God in his glory
gave me another chance,
This time I will live humbly
no matter my circumstance.
