I was born a sandwich kid Not much love was shown There was a situation Lonely and alone I would cry, affection dry As a desert bone.
I had no preprocessing traits If care were in a well I would fail if I sunk my pail Into the depths of hell Neglect my due so it ensued I grew up a shell.
We all need love to water us A child must be fed But if the care's not in the air They might as well be dead
Cakes are baked with sugar If it's not put in first Can't bake again the bitter end The cake is dry as dust.
And so I started using drugs When I was but a teen I ditched school, I was a fool Because I could have been
Anything I wanted Instead out there wasted A runaway, a wasteland A stunted tree and blasted.
(chorus)
I turned to religion I thought I was home free Buddhism, the SRF And scientology
Transcendental Meditation I read of the Bahai' I read the book Siddhartha It was like a high
But i lost faith and turned to drugs Over and over again I was ******, could not atone I can now this story pen
(chorus)
Then I found my savior The Lord Jesus Christ I was beat, but He was heat And melted all the ice Around my heart, then I did start To conquer every vice
I found the Holy Spirit I found my Father dear Don't think it odd, I found God And now I have no fear!
We all need Love to water us With Manna we are fed We conquer sin, and we can win, We can get ahead
We all need a High Tower A place where we can go To bask in love from up above and let the Spirit flow!
[bridge] We can all find sweetness It CAN be restored We are FREE and we can SEE OUR PRECIOUS SOVEREIGN LORD!

I was loved as a child, but I never felt it. It is in retrospect that I can see the love my parents had for me. They had many problems. My mother was very sickly. My father was addicted to alcohol at a very tender stage in my life. He stopped drinking. But by then it was too late. I felt like my cake had already been baked. I hated school because I was teased terribly. I was different. And I had abilities that other children didn't have. So they sledged me to the ground. And I was a sandwich child which didn't make things any easier. I was born scarcely a year after my sister. My mother fell off a chair onto her stomach and I was born prematurely. I've had a hard life. And I believe that I had not found the Lord Jesus Christ I would not be alive today.
For all you teens out there who are having trouble in school, please don't give up. Continue your studies fervently. It is only with an education that you can really do what you want to in life. It's very rare to find Second Chances. I found mine because of my innate abilities. But I could have been anything I wanted to be if I'd had an education! Be smart and get one!
