I lost another friend today His past reached in and pulled him way He tried to run but couldn’t hide From deep dark secrets locked inside A man like me who turned around Pulled himself up off the ground He tried to find an inner peace But years of chains would not release I try to look but turn away Is this my fate is this the way Are all these trials I face in vain Will my past come to reclaim But change is what I must endure Transformation forevermore Never is this battle won But day by day we rise above Never will it be the same Change is such a splendid thing We take it in to give it back To be the hand that pulls them back

Lost
I lost another friend today His past reached in and pulled him way He tried to run but couldn’t hide From deep dark secrets locked inside A man like me who turned around Pulled himself up off the ground He tried to find an inner peace But years of chains would not release I try to look but turn away Is this my fate is this the way Are all these trials I face in vain Will my past come to reclaim But change is what I must endure Transformation forevermore Never is this battle won But day by day we rise above Never will it be the same Change is such a splendid thing We take it in to give it back To be the hand that pulls them back
