words and music by nate logston.

once upon a time
when i was just a child
i believed that if i prayed
i could keep the bad away
my father was around
until he chose he couldnt be
no matter how much momma prayed
it was not her choice to make
and i don’t blame some god for that day
when he chose to leave
don’t tell me it was meant to be
our lives are in one anothers hands
theres no great mystery
does it scare you like it scares me

how can we believe
in something we cant see
take your two hands build this town
or take your gun out and shoot it down
julie was alive until she had too much to drink
and got behind the wheel to drive
she made that choice with her own mind
and i dont feel that was her time
destiny or fate
no way that it was meant to be
it all comes down to some luck
and choices we make
and does that scare you like it scares me

how can we realize
what we cant see with our eyes
and is faith as good as feel
if you can feel it youll know its real
desmond lost his drive
lost his job and lost his mind
lost his house and his wife
lost the meaning in his life
and i don’t think that was part of
some wonderful plan
dont tell me it was meant to be
you cant make me see thats what
was dealt to his hand
and does that scare you like it scares me
does that scare you like it scares me
does it scare you like it scares me
