Let's go back a few years and look on all the lies That you fed to me and yourself The standards you held so highly The book you followed so closely Was it all nothing to you? Was it all nothing to you? Just a phase you were going through Just a chance to call yourself one of the few? Your words gave me something more Something real to me, but it wasn't you But it wasn't you Oh God forgive me for turning my back on you (my back on you) For letting others influence the belief that I have in you If I walk away with one thing from all of this It's to never again put my faith in man Put my faith in man Maybe one day you will see the mistake in your decision The flaws in your revision I can't believe it was nothing to you Was it all nothing to you? Just a phase you were going through Oh God forgive me for turning my back on you (my back on you) For letting others influence the belief that I have in you You'll never give up on me You never stop letting me know that you're right here beside me You never give up You never give up God, show me the way God, show me my way He will always be there for you

He always heard that family comes first But walk a mile in his shoes you'll see that family hurts Just an innocent boy full of life but that coward left him with nothing You, you were never family Now I'm leaving you behind You took me for granted, I'm letting go You can save your goodbyes Years go by three kids and a wife But it's still eating him alive A life of struggle and strife But he won't give up this fight He always heard that family comes first And this time he'll make sure of it He tries to hide the pain Thinks back to that time and place Stares that coward in the face and he screams You, you were never family Now I'm leaving you behind You took me for granted, I'm letting go You can save your goodbyes You'll never know what you put me through Now I'm leaving you behind Spineless Now I'm leaving you behind

How could this place go from being so welcoming To shutting doors in everyone's face? This used to be the only place That I could go to get away from all of my problems Now it's the source What happened to the love that was left From the leaders set before us? All we need is the will to change The will to make an effort To accept anyone no matter the situation To have our doors open to anyone That is wanting to know what it's like to have a home To have someone listen to them To have someone relate to them You have no idea the amount of impact you could make We can be the change It's like you got it in your mind That we should stay the same Selfishness is not the way Deliver us from our prideful waste We can be the change You gotta get it out of your mind We can change We can change Throw your egos away, you won't be needing them anymore You're just leading them astray from what they need A sense of family, the feeling of hope We need to get back to the love we used to know We can be the change It's like you got it in your mind That we should stay the same Selfishness is not the way Deliver us from our prideful waste We can be the change You gotta get it out of your mind We can change They can try and stop us But we will not back down We will be the change They will not stop us They will not slow us down We will be the change We'll make our voices heard And we'll let them know I, I am the change I, I am the change

I can only hope that one day Everyone will see you for what you really are For what you really are! So quick to judge everyone's actions But too quick to forget your own When you know nothing of my situation Why do you make your opinion known? I'll never know what made you this way Or why you say the things you say Nothing good comes from it Nothing good comes from any of it! Before you speak take a step back and think Is it all worth it to you? Stop spewing your lies! Spewing, spewing, your, lies! I am no better than you! What happened to the friend I used to know that you outgrew? I am no better than you! Self-proclaimed king of this city And talks would never be like this I reminisce and think about the times When you were once my good friend Now you're a parasite Only furthering yourself You will receive your own You will receive! I am no better than you! What happened to the friend I used to know that you outgrew? I am no better than you! Self-proclaimed king of this city No longer will I sit by and watch you Destroy what took so long to build Overthrow This city has been here long before you And it will be here long after Overthrow

Restoration This is the last time I will choose to run from the ones that I love A young man that was full of pride That was full of self regard Forgiveness you still show A prideful youth that I'll never get back You carried my weight Forgiveness you still show This is the last time that I'll run from the ones that I love I am the Prodigal Son, I will no longer run I am the Prodigal Son Now I'm older and I can see the truth The sacrifices you made for the life that you would struggle through A prideful youth that I'll never get back You carried my weight Forgiveness you still show I never knew how much you mean to me And now I'm taking it back I used to count down the days that I'd leave with my selfish ways I'm taking it back With the love that you have shown me And the man that you have molded me to be I'm taking it back You were my restoration Restoration

There is nothing that you can say to me That will take me from the place that I am meant to be So-called friends turn their backs and run Convenience is the only thing they do not shun Is this just another smile Is this just another mask you wear The friendly faces in every day new places Who is real and why is it so rare Why is it so rare The gratitude that I hold so closely Is for the ones who always see the truth and trust it solely A companion, a closest friend The only thing that will matter in the end Is this just another smile Is this just another mask you wear The friendly faces in every day new places Who is real and why is it so rare Is this just another smile Is this just another mask you wear The friendly faces in every day new places Who is real and why is it so rare

All life lay ahead, and every road led home You stood by me, shoulder to shoulder! Looking back! All of it has happened so fast It's all a blur I'll always stay thankful for the past And look forward to the future This life has thrown us curves But it's worth every lesson we've learned Thick or thin Through good or bad I will stand up for you in the end! I will stand up for you in the end! Is this the last real taste of innocence? Of the first real taste of life? The memories we hold Are helping us survive The memories we hold on to Are keeping us alive All life lay ahead and every road led home You stood by me shoulder to shoulder Years go by, I'm getting older But we'll stand together, shoulder to shoulder (My brother!) (My friend!) (My brother!) Remember how simple life used to be? Nothing could stop us from who we wanted to be! Stay young, stay free! Stay young stay free! All life lay ahead and every road led home You stood by me shoulder to shoulder Years go by, I'm getting older But we'll stand together, shoulder to shoulder You stood by me shoulder to shoulder

Maternity In my twenty-one years of living I have never felt so helpless Your agony is leaving me restless And I don't know how much more I can take I can feel you slipping away Growing farther and farther apart Your absence is leaving me in the dark Your absence is leaving me in the dark It's been years since I've even seen you The only thing I've heard is about the hell that you've been through The demons that you fight are the ones I fight too I've done all I could just to bring her back Mother I've done all I could just to bring you back We're growing older as the years they pass Just bring her home God bring her home You've got it in you I'm living proof You've got it in you It's been five long years since I've danced with the devil I want the same for you but you have to want it too And I'll always be proud to be your son But my sole intent is to see that His will is done Mother I've done all I could just to bring you back We're growing older as the years they pass Just bring her home God bring her home Your absence is leaving me in the dark Your absence is leaving me in the dark In the dark

Coward, gutless child Coward, gutless child Coward, gutless child Coward, gutless excuse for a man Too many times I've watched you raise your hand against my family Too many hours hiding in my closet praying for The strength to do something To put an end to this Woman why are you still there The fear of leaving should not outweigh the fear of staying You don't deserve this, my diamond in the rough You deserve the world, my diamond in the rough Don't let anyone tell you different Don't let anyone ever tell you different I will never understand what she saw in you All the pain and suffering you put this family though You are nothing to me but a gutless child You're nothing to me Woman why are you still there The fear of leaving should not outweigh the fear of staying You don't deserve this, my diamond in the rough Show me a man who abuses the bottle I'll show you a broken family You don't have to put up with this there is a way out There is always a way out

Faceless, you remain to me But your actions did not go unseen Do you think I'll ever forget that night when you took my mother away from me? The only woman, I could trust The only woman who understood who I really was But I'm growing older and with each passing day I learn the world gets colder and I learn everything that happens has a meaning, has a purpose God, it's taken me years and years and years To finally be able to say, that I am over this I've lived for far too long, in the shadows of my own hatred How can you forgive me, if I can't even forgive myself? I can only hope That I will get the chance To tell you all of this Face to face! Face to, face! I can only imagine the pain that you are going through Knowing of the grief and emptiness you put this family through How could I, be so selfish, to think that I was the only one affected? Just know that in my eyes you are forgiven! Just know, you are forgiven! God, it's taken me years and years and years To finally be able to say, that I am over this I've lived for far too long, in the shadows of my own hatred How can you forgive me, if I can't even forgive myself?
