Just Ask

Just Ask

(Verse 1)
Everyday we have a million questions we could ask
It's like, completing a task
Could I get it done?
Am I going to loose?
What direction Will I go in?
I got to choose
Will I stay in the fast lane, with speed?
Will I slow down that's what I need 
Will I seek precaution
In all aspects of life
Will I one day get it right?
Made enough mistakes
Had enough on my plate
Somethings are still there, I can't rake
Trying to do better
Am I a picture from my past
You will never know
Unless you just ask

(Chorus)
There are a lot of things 
A person would never know%
Don't always wait for approval
Sometimes you have to go
Leave the past behind ya,don't worry
Its important to read the whole story
What's an answer, if you can't state facts
How will you know if you never ask

(Verse 2)
My language is different
I ask in many different ways 
You can sometimes
See it as  plain as the day
I didn't know 
Sat back and observed
Based my outlook 
On what I heard
Didn't day a word , at all
My chapter stopped
Scanned through the pages 
Upon my life 
Finally somehow getting it right

Chorus)
There are a lot of things 
A person would never know
Don't always wait for approval
Sometimes you have to go
Leave the past behind ya,don't worry
Its important to read the whole story
What's an answer, if you can't state facts
How will you know if you never ask

Hook
Just ask 
You will see
That there is more
Than you see when a question is answered with certainty
Just ask 
You will see 
That there's more 
Than you see when a question is answered with certainty

Chorus)
There are a lot of things 
A person would never know
Don't always wait for approval
Sometimes you have to go
Leave the past behind ya,don't worry
Its important to read the whole story
What's an answer, if you can't state facts
How will you know if you never ask

Repeat until chorus fades
