  • You got your hand on the door,
    and your ready just to walk out;
    Well the fight that you had
    filled your mind up with all this doubt.
    And your losing your mind
    and your losing your faith;
    And you can't remember why
    you fell in love in the first place.

    Chorus1:
    Go back, go back
    to the moment of truth
    When she walked down the aisle
    and she first said "I do".
    When this life makes you wonder
    "what have you got to lose"?
    Go back, go back
    to the moment of truth.

    You've got your hand on a habit,
    and you can't seem to let it go.
    It used to be your escape,
    now its out of control.
    And now its you in the mirror,
    but you don't recognize your face;
    And your lookin' for a reason
    not to throw it all away.

    Chorus2:
    Just go back, go back
    to the moment of truth,
    when 3 words "Its a girl!"
    and she looks just like you.
    When this life makes you wonder
    "what have you got to lose"?
    Go back, just go back,
    to the moment of truth.

    Bridge:
    You got your hand on the bible
    but your heart feels like stone;
    cuz you feel like you've made
    too many mistakes to come home,
    And your losing your will
    and your losing your faith,
    and you wonder if you
    even believe in the 1st place ...

    Chorus3:
    Just go back, go back,
    to the moment of truth
    when you 1st talked to Jesus
    and He reached out for you!
    He's still reachin',
    He's still reachin' out for you
    so if this life makes you wonder
    "what have you got to lose"? ...

    Just go back, just go back
    to the moment of truth;
    Just go back, go back
    to the moment of truth ...

    Just go back. Publisher: CONCORD MUSIC PUBLISHING LLC, ESSENTIAL MUSIC PUBLISHING

  • Robert from Delphi, InIf only my "christian", preacher's daughter wife would pay one ounce of attention to this. Three boys, 15 years of marriage, she's been the only one unfaithful, but I've had medical problems leading to career problems in this economy, so suddenly commitment means nothing and she drops the boys off when she goes dating. How can I counteract that kind of modeling in my boys' development? Not to mention my own bottomless well of pain over which I precariously balance every day.
