I was once lead astray
Unknowing and unafraid;
Seeing only a path with less pain.
I thought the fire could be contained,
But it all went up in flames.
I found myself in darkness, enslaved.
Despair was snaking through my veins.
I was no longer in control, no longer sane.
Still, I didn\'t see the price I paid.
Then you came; an explosion, a grenade.
From that moment everything changed;
Because of you, I was remade.
The shadows lifted and I was unchained,
My soul reignited and my life was saved.
