It took a lifetime to become
The person that you see so..
. I wish I had a way to know
Just how far you had to go
To find a way
For you to be
Even slightly
Satisfied with the strange reality
That turned out.... .
...Once you got past
A little bit of the doubt
Finding a way..to..Look...past
The strange shadow
That I've always cast
And see that...there may be
someone
Worth a second chance / a second glance
You might even have had to go so far
As to create a whole new
Overview!
So I have to applaud you
For the hard times
That you've gotten through
Putting up...with the likes of me !
It wasn't like I tried ....
...to be
A thorn in your side
I've just been different
Than all the others that you raised
So we banged our heads together
As we .......
Tried to understand each other
I hope I never neglected to show you
That I always respected you..
...For all the things that you believe
I just had to go. on a search
And it took me away from the church
But it never took me away
...so far
That I couldn't or wouldn't
Hear the word
"I never denied
That JESUS CHRIST is my savior'
Or that he died ...
...For the likes of me ! "
That is to the credit of the love
That you've shared
Even when I made it hard
And you were scared
That I'd end up scarred
By the evils of the world
I want you to know
That wherever I go
Whatever I do
All the good
That resides in the.. likes of me
Comes from the love that you
And the LORD above
Have always shared with...
...the likes of me
So I want you to know
That it's takin a lifetime
To become the person that you see
Although I don't fit into any mold
I know that you've always had...
...good or bad
Unwavering faith in me
So I'll do my best to join you
In that city on the hill
Following your path
Avoiding GODS wrath
By always
Doing HIS will.
