Where Can I Go?
by Philip Bailey

Album: Family Affair

Alright, come on!
Whoo!

I was my own person, I decided every move
Always lived my life the way I wanted to
Livin' crazy, said that I could make it
By myself, without help
High on the mountaintop, I was too big to fall
Thought all my wealth and power
Could help me fly away
But then I saw the writing on the wall, oh...

Where can I go, Lord?
Where can I go without You?
Oh, Lord, it's a helpless situation
Where can I go, Lord?
(Mm-hmm)
Where can I go without You?

I watched my dreams shatter
Fall before my eyes
After all had failed that I'd ever tried
Such a fool to think that I could make it
On my own, all alone
I tried to run from You
I thought I knew what was best
But tell me, what's the use
You are my very breath
And right now I must confess, oh...

Where can I go, Lord?
Where can I go without You?
It's a helpless situation
Where can I go, Lord?
(Yeah)
Where can I go without You?
You know everything about me

Where can I go, Lord?
Where can I go without You?
I had to ask somebody
And they told me "no way!"
Uh-uh-uh...
Where can I go, Lord?
(Nowhere, nowhere)
Where can I go without You?
Listen to me

If I fly beyond the sky to the heavens above
You are there
If I go to the other-most parts of the earth
You are there
And even if, even if I made my bed in Hell
You are there, You are there, uh-huh

Where can I go, Lord?
Where can I go without You?
Said it's a hopeless situation
Yes, it is, yes, it is
Where can I go, Lord?
(Mm-hmm)
Where can I go without You?
You know everything about me, Lord

Where can I go, Lord?
Where can I go without You?
I had to ask somebody
And they told me "no way!"
Where can I go, Lord?
Where can I go without You?
I know now, Lord
That You made me for Your service

You know, I've been all over the world
But I found out a long time ago
That no matter where you go
He'll meet you there
And just like Jonah found out
You can't run, you can't hide from God

Where can I go, Lord?
Where can I go without You...
