What I Need To Do

[00:12.19] (Karen Taylor-Good/Jason Blume)
[00:13.27] I knew all the answers
[00:17.51] The way my life should go
[00:21.53] And when I used to say my prayers
[00:26.21] I would tell God so
[00:30.31] It seemed He wasn't listening
[00:33.58] I thought He didn't care
[00:37.70] But lookin' back
[00:39.75] It's plain to see
[00:42.45] He was always there
[00:45.85] 'Cause I prayed for strength
[00:49.45] And I got pain that made me strong
[00:54.38] I prayed for courage
[00:57.52] And got fear to overcome
[01:02.22] When I prayed for faith
[01:05.33] My empty heart brought me to my knees
[01:10.39] I don't always get what I want
[01:13.73] I get what I need
[01:22.00] I'm not sayin' that it's easy
[01:26.52] Or that it doesn't hurt
[01:30.43] When nothing seems to go my way
[01:34.68] Nothing seems to work
[01:38.27] These days I'm getting better
[01:42.15] At goin' with the flow
[01:46.89] Accepting that sometimes the answer
[01:50.73] To a prayer is no
[01:54.67] 'Cause I prayed for strength
[01:58.06] And I got pain that made me strong
[02:03.05] I prayed for courage
[02:06.43] And got fear to overcome
[02:10.85] When I prayed for faith
[02:13.94] My empty heart brought me to my knees
[02:19.40] I don't always get what I want
[02:22.36] I get what I need
[02:27.37] Every time I've had a door slammed in my face
[02:33.51] In time a better one was opened in its place
[02:43.58] I prayed for strength
[02:46.65] And I got pain that made me strong
[02:51.81] I prayed for courage
[02:54.73] And got fear to overcome
[02:59.61] When I prayed for faith
[03:02.87] My empty heart brought me to my knees
[03:07.59] I don't always get what I want
[03:11.19] I get what I need
[03:15.69] Oh I don't always get what I want
[03:19.82] I get what I need
[03:26.63]
