  • Hit me!

    (Hey)

    If you don't mind, can I be far from perfect?
    Just can I be me?
    Do you have time to see?
    What a work in progress really means
    Spent many a night on my knees
    'Cause that's the key for me to be free
    A thousand tears, a million rose
    Just some ingredients that helped me to grow

    God took pain, added some sun and rain
    Blended it together with grace
    Still I had to wait
    'Cause He wanted me to be strong, yeah
    For the days I'd walk alone
    And all my superpowers were gone
    You said I making something better
    I'm putting it together
    Trust me
    If you don't mind
    See I know where I'm going
    If you don't mind, yeah, woo

    If you don't mind, can I be
    Honest, it was so hard to see
    Every hard day (every hard day)
    Every closed door (every closed door)
    Were the ingredients that helped me to grow

    God took pain
    Added some sun and rain
    Bringing it together with grace (grace)
    Still I had to wait (oh, I had to wait)
    'Cause He wanted me to be strong

    For the days I'd walk alone
    And all my superpowers, were gone
    He said I'm making something better
    I'm putting it together
    Trust me

    If you don't mind

    Ooh, see I know where I'm going
    If you don't mind

    Hey, if you don't mind
    If you don't mind (I'll set you free)
    Don't mind (I'll give you me)
    Don't mind (I'll be your source)
    Nobody can love you more

    If you don't mind (I have a plan)
    Don't mind (that tomorrow is in my hands)
    Don't mind (taste and see)
    There'll never be another like me, yeah

    If you don't mind
    If you don't mind

    (Come on) oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

    God took pain
    Added some sun and rain (oh)
    Bringing it together with grace (oh, yes, you did)
    Still I had to wait (oh yeah)
    'Cause He wanted me to be strong

    For the days I'd walk alone (walk alone)
    And all my superpowers, were gone
    He said I'm making something better, I'm putting it together
    Trust me

    If you don't mind (if you don't mind, ooh)
    See I know where I'm going
    If you don't mind (oh, yeah, yeah)
    See I know what I'm doing
    If you don't mind (yeah, yeah)
    Get out of my way
    If you don't mind (yeah)

    Thank you, oh, ooh
    Thank you for everything you've done for me, oh, ooh, oh, yeah woo Writer/s: Kirk Franklin
