I didn’t realize how bad I felt in the inside
Until I ended up in jail
I always wondered what it would be like if I died
So I wouldn’t hurt when I fell
My whole life I lived in fear
Cause I didn’t know who I was
For everybody else I always shed a tear
And concentrated on their flaws
At who I was supposed to be I was lost
It took 17 years, but now I’m found
I’m glad cause it would have been my sanity that it would have cost
I’d be there, but really I wasn’t around
Cause I stayed deep inside
So my emotions you couldn’t see
So if I was hurt, I could hide
And emotionally I would flee
I ran so far away
It took awhile to get back
I learned to live day for day
But it was the faith that I lack
Cause now I know I have my family
But I was unsure of Him
Cause I didn’t know if He was there for me daily
So without Him, my future to me, look dim
Now I can actually see tomorrow
Without wondering if I’m gonna make it
I can let go of my regret, pain and sorrow
Because the light to my future was lit!
