My daughter, Jessica, helped with the words to this song. So many folks are feeling trapped...just like a genie in a bottle.

lyrics

GENIE IN A BOTTLE
words & music by Larry L Campbell and Jessica Campbell c2000

Verse 1:
Every time I look around, I see people falling to the ground,
Don't know why they act that way don't they know there's a better way.
Same old mistakes, same old repeats,
never seem to get back on their feet,
Vicious cycle like a merry go round,
they're never up cause they're always down.

Verse 2:
A world that's lost, and needing hope,
try anything just to help them cope,
don't know why they act that way,
don't they know there's a better way.
In such a hurry, they can't be last,
going nowhere but they'll get there fast,
vicious cycle like a merry go round,
their never up cause they're always down.

Chorus;
In their eyes you can see a sadness of a lifetime filled with pain,
It's like you're watching an old home movie...
where the years may change but the actors stay the same,
Sometimes it feels just like you're trapped with no way out,
like a genie in a bottle, and sometime the road of life is filled with doubt, you better let up on the throttle,
and plead the name the holy name of Christ, and let Him in.
