|
I've walked through this world sometimes without a friend |
|
My life has been up and down, been close to an end |
|
But I've been through the mill |
|
And I've paid my dues |
|
Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes |
|
But I've been through the fire |
|
And I've walked in the rain |
|
I've felt the joy and endured the pain |
|
Once I was a schemer |
|
But I always was a dreamer |
|
But it took me who |
|
I was and where |
|
I've been |
|
To make me who |
|
I am I've met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell |
|
Traveled some crooked roads, got some stories yet to tell |
|
I've shot up with the junkie, in piss stench halls |
|
Broken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to |
|
God Some days |
|
I was blessed, some nights |
|
I was damned |
|
But I always tried to lend a helping hand |
|
Once I was a deceiver |
|
NOW I am a believer |
|
But it took me who |
|
I was and where |
|
I've been |
|
To make me who |
|
I am Oh, I've seen the little children, all strung out on dope |
|
No one to care about them, living without hope |
|
But I've been lucky that |
|
I always had a song |
|
I'll sing it with compassion, to try to right the wrong. |
|
Once my life was wretched |
|
But why should |
|
I regret it |
|
Cuz, it took me who |
|
I was, and where |
|
I've been |
|
To make me who |
|
I am Speech: |
|
This is dedicated to my friends in jail |
|
For my Brother |
|
Jake who had to ride the rail |
|
For my friend |
|
Roonie and |
|
Melvin, who were so dear |
|
They were so misunderstood |
|
But I wish they were still here |
|
To hear this song |
|
I sing from my heart |
|
They're forever in my soul, even though we had to part |
|
Once I was a deceiver |
|
NOW I am a believer |
|
But it took me who |
|
I was and where |
|
I've been |
|
To make me who |
|
I am God said |
|
I forgive you |
|
Wipe away the scars |
|
Cause I know it took who you were |
|
And where you came from |
|
To make you who you are |
|
Cause I know it took who you were |
|
And where you came from |
|
To make you what you are |
