Didn't I

Didn't I make ya proud Go and lay my life down When you called my name I thought I stood for somthin' Was doin' the right thing When I went away Now bein' back should be so simple But I keep gettin' these big signals From everyone Why do folks sit and judge me Who ain't seen what I've seen Or did what I done? Didn't I burn Didn't I bleed Enough For you? I've faced your fears Felt pain So you won't have to Yeah, didn't I do my best And wasn't home here when I left? I've seen boys fall to pieces Grown men cry out for Jesus Til they're black and blue I thought God was on our side Weren't we supposed to be the good guys That would never lose? 'Cause' I don't see no ticker, tape Or 5-mile parade sayin' "Thank you, son." Just folks that sit and judge me Who ain't seen what I've seen Or did What I done Didn't I burn Didn't I bleed Enough For you? I've faced your fears Felt pain So you won't have to Yeah, didn't I do my best And wasn't home here when I left?
