D.c. Talk - The King (Allelujah) Lyrics
(Toby McKeehan)some people gotta learn the hardwayI guess I'm the kinda guy that has to find out for myselfI had to learn the hardway, fatherI'm on my knees and I'm crying for helpnow I've been high and I've been lowI've been some places that you will not goI never thought there would come the daywhen I wished I never would've lived this waybut I've been searching for a long timeI thought the devil was a friend of mineI turned my back on everything that was trueand wasted years that belonged to yousome people gotta learn the hardwayI guess I'm the kinda guy that has to find out for myselfI had to learn the hardway, fatherI'm on my knees and I'm crying for helpit took so long for me to seethat I'm a victim of nature and meleft to myself, I realizeI am the maker of my own demisebut you accept me every time and againand never mention just how selfish I've beenwhy must it always take me so long to seethat I have fallen, but you will forgive mesome people gotta learn the hardwayI guess I'm the kinda guy that has to find out for myselfI had to learn the hardway, fatherI'm on my knees and I'm crying for helpthe warning signs are like flares in the nightstill I proceed my greed is in spiteof the fire I know that's bound to burnwhy is it that I always gotta learn the hardwaythe hardwayI had to learn the hardwaythe hardwaythe hardwayI had to learn the hardway
