Verse I
Now that everything has been said and done
I Never knew that I'd be the one
To get my life straight and into order
Before my life is over
I feel like a new man
I don't think you understand
I let some doors close shut
And Let others open up
Escaping the pain seemed
Like something I've dreamed
Cleaned my soul out
And without a doubt
I've become someone better
A new man forever
I've made it out of the rain
And bled through the pain
Chorus:
Life ain't a game to play
Don't live it from day to day
Think before you act
Before your soul becomes cracked
Just keep it intact
Before you fade to black
Verse II:
Ask and you shall receive
All you have to do is believe
Because faith is all you need to breathe
Just let all your thoughtlessness leave
Just clear your thoughts and you'll see
That you too, can be all you can be
And let your spirit go free
Trust you've made the right choices
Ignore all of your demon's voices
Just let it all escape
All your evil and hate
Will soon follow
Just don't slip into sorrow
Or let your heart become hollow
Keep on thinking about tomorrow
And remember you life is borrowed
Chorus
Verse III:
Know that I've been through hell and back
A Changed man from a soul of black
My own mistake was letting my demons attack
And dwell on all I lack
Forgive me father for I have sinned
I know my demons have grinned
everytime I let the devil win
But the Evolution will begin
I have cleaned my soul
So it can become whole
Living life is my new goal
So I quit lighting up the bowl
Pure thoughts no longer crowded
No longer one of the clouded
Just change your life for your own good
If you knew why, you would
