歌曲歌詞

I've walked through this world sometimes without a friend

My life has been up and down, been close to an end

But I've been through the mill

And I've paid my dues

Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes

But I've been through the fire

And I've walked in the rain

I've felt the joy and endured the pain

Once I was a schemer

But I always was a dreamer

But it took me who

I was and where

I've been

To make me who

I am I've met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell

Traveled some crooked roads, got some stories yet to tell

I've shot up with the junkie, in piss stench halls

Broken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to

God Some days

I was blessed, some nights

I was damned

But I always tried to lend a helping hand

Once I was a deceiver

NOW I am a believer

But it took me who

I was and where

I've been

To make me who

I am Oh, I've seen the little children, all strung out on ****

No one to care about them, living without hope

But I've been lucky that

I always had a song

I'll sing it with compassion, to try to right the wrong.

Once my life was wretched

But why should

I regret it

Cuz, it took me who

I was, and where

I've been

To make me who

I am Speech:

This is dedicated to my friends in jail

For my Brother

Jake who had to ride the rail

For my friend

Roonie and

Melvin, who were so dear

They were so misunderstood

But I wish they were still here

To hear this song

I sing from my heart

They're forever in my soul, even though we had to part

Once I was a deceiver

NOW I am a believer

But it took me who

I was and where

I've been

To make me who

I am God said

I forgive you

Wipe away the scars

Cause I know it took who you were

And where you came from

To make you who you are

Cause I know it took who you were

And where you came from

To make you what you are
