"Time and Time Again"
More then once I found myself slipping in further
Fealt like I could one day come to grip with committing murder
Knew it was only surface deep, yet the fight was brutal
How I went from everyday church to a life so crucial
I pushed on, leading into things I swore I would never do
Night after night crying myself to sleep, the endless torment I went through
Never believing I would be anything more
Boy was I wrong, I doubted what God had in store
Age three past ten when it all began
Left my parents comfort, yet still home and ran
Deep in a crowd with eyes full of evil
Those lying words nearly took my life, nothing short of decietful
Late night brawls, party after party
Or should I say the time of my fall, their friendship only partly a part of me
Still home sweet home, but I was never really there
The only son, youngest child, my parents biggest fear
Running the streets, illegal fun, how I made my Holy Father Cry
I never gave it up, nearly on my death bed, about to die
Struggles one night with my significant other
So what do I do run home, and pick a fight with my father
That was one scary night I wish I could forget
Blows thrown, and connected, my hands behind my back, no ride into the sunset
Two weeks deep, I never did go back
Nine months supervised from that one ignorant attack
Left the state in hopes of a new horizon
"Im changin my ways" boy was a lyin'
Shaped up one year away only to dive right back in
Moved out of my parents covering into a dark life of sin
Took three small months to finally see my first gleam of hope
It's amazing what will change with three men in your home with a knife at your throat
Struggled with my individuality, only to see that what I needed was right before my eyes
Living my life of sin, had me thinking God was in disguise
I fought Him for nine long month until a new years day
After being charged for illegal fun, I gave it up, and chose my new way
Now five months strong and never looking back
Full time professional racer, pain free, is what God gave me for how I act
I lost my old self like a snake shedding skin
This poem is all I will remember about how my new life began
It's very hard to put these actions into words
Because my mouth bleeds to tell it, this story of my life so absurd
I push on to my Father, he never left my side
He heard my every prayer, fealt all my pain, and rubbed my back when I cried
I tell this story in hopes that anyone who finds themself in this position
When the Dear Lord Finds you, then and only then will you know what you were missin'
He will erase all those fears, and make everything ok
I just hope and pray you don't go through what I did and find out the same way
