I've been tried, through the fire plenty times
What I'd do to be with you, I'd gladly give my life
I've been tried, through the fire plenty times
What I'd do to be with you, I'd gladly give my life, my life, my life
I've been tried, I've been tried, I've been tried, Oh I've been tried
I've been tried, I've been tried, I've been tried, Oh I've been tried
Getting tried through the fire means giving up your desires
Burn the boat sacrifice what it requires
Until we expire, let's build an empire, strong foundation so we never retire
Take it a bit higher, I just want to touch the sky
Getting tempted by a life full of strife and conflict
I hear the bomb tick, devils in disguise explode
Will you recognize all the times I felt so low
Burned alive all night I was moving solo
Tried to fuss and fight but thats not how life go
It feel like the pain leave when you leave it alone
I been going through some things but I'm keeping it strong
I been chasing all these dreams yeah I'm stuck in the zone
God tell me why I feel like I been all alone
Will I meet you and I'll feel like all this pain is gone
All this pain is gone, all this pain is gone, all this pain is gone
Can you paint me a picture or maybe write me a poem
In case you don't do either I need a verse for this song
I heard David did that I should go read Psalms
You know we go way back, back when Noah was born
Been in the fire so long I don't want to be scorned
Man I been screaming so long you cant leave me ignored
I've been tried, through the fire plenty times
What I'd do to be with you, I'd gladly give my life
I've been tried, through the fire plenty times
What I'd do to be with you, I'd gladly give my life, my life, my life
I've been tried, I've been tried, I've been tried, Oh I've been tried
I've been tried, I've been tried, I've been tried, Oh I've been tried
