Salina Sias Slipping Away lyrics

God asked me for forgiveness
One day when I was three
He said, girl you've been looking at a boy
And he's not me
I said, God, have you lost your mind
He said question me one more time
I'm not a man who says I'm sorry to the poor child who goes blind

Chorus:

You will walk down the street
With no gun in your hand
When the killer is stirring
And the days turn to black
You'll surrender to the given you face
And take pride in the name
It keeps slipping away




A father asked his son to pray
He was old enough to see
The gun placed upon his mother's cheek
He said, ‘boy, this isn't me'
Boy said, daddy don't you see me cry
Boy, listen one last time
Be a man and wipe the tears away, she's leaving us today


And the mother said, son don't you forget

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm slipping away
