Long have I questioned
Long have I cried
I\'d rather have escaped
would rather have died.
What I\'ve endured
is hard to describe,
But I\'ve made it this far-
to my surprise I survived !
When I was just a child
and knew little of pain
I though life would be good
and the world seemed sane.
Later on I knew better
and darkness set in.
My soul became fettered
by the demons I let in.
When God set me free
I discovered real love
and finally received
Salvation from above.
No human power heals
the souls deepest woe.
Only God can give life
to a spirit laid low.
