I was trying to hold it all on my own Family only show up when the casket's closed We used to laugh, we used to dance Vacations in Rome Now the love we had feels like it's all gone I miss the smiles, I miss the unity Now it's silence where the joy used to be Lord, I'm praying you can heal this pain Break the curse So love can live again Money fades But your love remains When the gates swing wide We can't take a thing What happened to the laughter? What happened to the trust? God, bring us back to the days of love We need to pray together, stay together Not wait until someone's gone forever Lord, heal our family, set us free This is my testimony Generations broken by anger and pride Tears unspoken, hearts locked inside Fighting over money, forgetting what's true None of that can follow when we come to you I miss the family gathered 'round the table The love was strong, unshakable But now the distance cuts deep like a knife God, we need you to restore this life Money fades But your love remains When the gates swing wide We can't take a thing What happened to the laughter? What happened to the trust? God, bring us back to the days of love We need to pray together, stay together Not wait until someone's gone forever Lord, heal our family, set us free This is my testimony Oh lord, remind us what it means to care To show each other love before we're not there Why wait for flowers laid on the ground When we can give each other love today? Money fades But your love remains When the gates swing wide We can't take a thing What happened to the laughter? What happened to the trust? God, bring us back to the days of love We need to pray together, stay together Not wait until someone's gone forever Lord, heal our family, set us free This is my testimony Lord, heal our family Bring back the love We can't take nothing when you call us above Teach us to cherish, teach us to see This is my story My testimony
