[Verse 1]
Lessons in The Bible, but none to dry these hopeless tears
I find blessings being an idol, but too much time to focus
And then I find truth inside the water, the truth feels like an ocean
I cast my message in a bottle
And once the night has fallen I'll find
Mercy from the Lotto and I spend my winnings on hopeless gifts
I find blessings from the bottle, not too many people to spend them with
If I blew it all on The Gospel, would I hear God's voice and messages?
If I knew what getting money would cost us
[Chorus]
Heaven's too far for a young black boy in a little black car and the gas too costly
The ticket train gone and the boat left dock and the flight too long
And I don't know what it cost me
I could do a trade
Take my little black heart, you could put it in a song
You could dance on my coffin once the night has fallen
Once the night has fallen, I'll find
[Verse 2]
Mercy from the Lotto and I spend my winnings on hopeless gifts

If I blew it all on The Gospel, would I hear God's voice and messages?
If I knew what getting money would cost us
Once the night has fallen, I'll find a message in the bottle
Message in the bottle
Message in the bottle
Message in the bottle
[Chorus]
Heaven's too far for a young black boy in a little black car and the gas too costly
The ticket train gone and the boat left dock and the flight too long
And I don't know what it cost me
I could do a trade
Take my little black heart, you could put it in a song
You could dance on my coffin once the night has fallen
Once the night has fallen, I'll find
