I've made so many mistakes
So much ground to cover
Trying to right my wrongs
Only to uncover another
They say you get what you give
And I know that to be true
Because I'm fighting to repair
I'm struggling to undo
All the years of negativity
Alcoholism and drugs
Making headway out of this pit
That I have quickly dug
Change comes with time
This path of correction I must follow
So much I must repair
For a better tomorrow
A little at a time, I can finally see the sun
Blinded by the brightness, from which I've always run
To stop acting like a boy
To finally become a man
And stop wallowing in my pity
To make my final stand
Against this heavy darkness
I have allowed to take control
I am ready to be better
I will not be swallowed whole.
One day I will look back
On the mess that I have made
The war to right my wrongs
To be worthy of being saved.

All the years of negativity

Making headway out of this pit

This path of correction I must follow
So much I must repair
For a better tomorrow
A little at a time, I can finally see the sun
Blinded by the brightness, from which I've always run
To stop acting like a boy
To finally become a man
And stop wallowing in my pity
To make my final stand
Against this heavy darkness
I have allowed to take control
I am ready to be better
I will not be swallowed whole.
One day I will look back
On the mess that I have made
The war to right my wrongs
To be worthy of being saved.
