Kelly 6

You lived a life going no where
Your days were full of despair
You had no morals to guide you
Love wasn't a feeling you shared

Following the world to destruction
Your soul grieved with pain
Wondering why you continued living
Just going on from day to day

Lost in the heat of passion
You fell for one of the devils traps
Your heart felt no sorrow for this action
You felt that there was no way back

Why did you have to do what you did
Why did you have to live the way you lived
You didn't know there was a better way
Lost in the darkness trying to find your way

Somewhere you wondered off the road 
That would lead you back home
Thinking you were on a permanent detour
The way back wasn't known

Feeling all alone in the world
You thought that no one cared
Only doing what you thought was expected
Doing anything you dared

All the while there was some one reaching out for you
But you couldn't see his hand
Your best friend who always loved you
From the beginning had a plan

He tried to be your light in the darkness
He wanted to help ease the pain
He tried to teach you the right way to live
So you could be with him once again

You didn't hear him calling you
Gently he said come follow me
Just do what I ask you to do
And you will be with me for eternity

Lost with the world
Wondering what life is about
Feeling that you've had enough
Finally you start to cry out

He heard your cry
And showed you the way back home
But it's your choice
Which way you want to go
You lived a life going no where
But now you found the path
You were headed for destruction
But now you found your way
To the straight and narrow
The way back home.
