[Intro] Sunday morning, but the pavement still cold Mama said keep faith when the world gets bold Church bells ringing through the neighborhood Wolf on the corner trying to make it out good [Verse 1] I came from a place where the nights stayed long Where you learned real quick how to tell right from wrong Grandma had a Bible with the pages worn thin Said, “Keep God in your heart when the struggle kicks in” I seen empty plates, I seen broken homes Seen young souls searching for a place called home But the neighborhood taught me to stand and endure Keep your word, stay humble, keep your spirit pure Boots on the pavement, dust on my jeans Still chasing a vision nobody else sees Every scar got a story, every loss left a lesson Every prayer whispered low was a form of protection [Hook] This is Wolf Street Gospel Hands up high while we walk through the struggle Faith in the heart, fire in the soul Keep moving forward when the road gets cold Wolf Street Gospel From the dirt to the sky, let the whole world know We bend, we break, but we never lose hope Grace in our steps, that's the way that we go [Verse 2] Sunday service, Sunday night on the block Same people praying for the same ticking clock Pastor said, “Faith ain't waiting around” So I took that word and I carried it downtown I pray for the ones that got lost in the storm For the fathers working late just to keep families warm For the mothers holding everything together For the young ones believing they can rise from the pressure Southern soul in the rhythm, dust in the air Old truck rolling with the windows down there Choir in my memory, bass in the trunk Every setback tried me, every blessing got me up [Hook] This is Wolf Street Gospel Hands up high while we walk through the struggle Faith in the heart, fire in the soul Keep moving forward when the road gets cold Wolf Street Gospel From the dirt to the sky, let the whole world know We bend, we break, but we never lose hope Grace in our steps, that's the way that we go [Bridge] Hallelujah when the sun comes up Hallelujah when the road gets rough If I stumble, give me strength to stand If I fall, put the fire back in my hands [Verse 3] Now I walk with the lessons they gave me Every blessing reminds me the struggle couldn't break me I don't claim perfection, I just keep believing Plant seeds in the darkness and pray for the evening Pack stays close, but the heart stays humble When the world gets loud, let the spirit speak louder No matter how far these city roads run Keep faith in the journey till the journey is done [Final Hook] This is Wolf Street Gospel Hands up high while we walk through the struggle Faith in the heart, fire in the soul Keep moving forward when the road gets cold Wolf Street Gospel From the dirt to the sky, let the whole world know We bend, we break, but we never lose hope Grace in our steps, that's the way that we go [Outro] Church bells fading… Streetlights glowing… Still walking. Still believing.
