The truth



How do i say i'm sorry , for Your world of pain ,

how do i mend a heart , burnt by lifes flame?,

I can't go back in time , only move forward and go on ,

learn from lifes lessons , and admit that i was wrong.,

Living in my world of dreams , have i lost sight of whats real and true ,

if dreaming makes me crazy , then theres nothing i can do.,

If i fail You now , it's not a mistake ,

it's the choice i've made , no give or take.,

Forgive me Father , for the choice i've made ,

it's all i've got left , what more can i say.,

Time is up , win or lose ,

it's Your choice Father , choose.,

Every one , or no one ,

all of Your children , or just Your Son.,

I can't excape , this world i'm in ,

lost in love , but filled with sin.,

I love them all , how dare i leave ,

when for their souls , is why i grieve...
