Self seeking will slip away
All the years of wreckage running through my head
When you think it's too late
Fear of people and economic insecurity will leave us
Learn the hard way
Sometimes you've got to be strong
Overwhelming sorrow now absorbs me
For that to portray, I'm sure
We will intuitively know how to handle situations
And gain interest in our fellows
As the pen begins to trace my darkest past
Staring at the finished page before me
Sometimes you've got to be wrong
Helping for any one's touch
Could this be the begin of the end
I once thought it better to regret
Revealing hurt for shame and deep lament
We will be amazed before we are half way through
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development
Things that I have done, then haven't
Just when you're through hanging on
You're only as sick as your secrets
God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves
You're saved
To face my past and ask for forgiveness
Staring at the empty page before me
No matter how far down the scale we have gone
You're only one
We will lose interest in selfish things
Thinking 'bout the dreaded task in store for me
The truth is the truth
But the truth shall set you free
That feeling of uselessness and self pity will disappear
All the damage now so clear and evident
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness
Misinterpreted promises, we think
Which used to baffle us, we will suddenly realize that
Signs throughout my life that should have warned me
Patterns of my life I thought had torn me
I once thought it better to regret
Of all the wrongs I've done for which I must repent
Learn the hard way
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it
Hoping that the step will help restore me
Things that I have done, then haven't
Cleaning up my dirty side of this un-swept street
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change
We will see how our experience can benefit others
Sometimes you've got to be wrong
A bitter fear at the thought of my amends
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace
