WORTH A SHOT
So now I know why,
I went there.
Down that long
And lonely road.
To learn and grow
Within myself,
And see
What I have sown.
I know
There are still hard times,
Waiting just for me.
Evil around the corners,
Things I can not see.
My faith
That I have,
Has carried me
And has always,
Seen me through.
I believe
It will never leave me,
It has been my only tool
Even though
I still stumble,
And I know
That I have done wrong.
As long
As I keep my eyes,
Wide open
And sing
That peaceful song.
Remember
All the heartache,
That life
Put me through.
I keep myself focused,
And do
What I have to do.
All that I am saying,
Is that
I have realized a lot.
I know there is
More sorrow,
And there is no gold
At the end,
Of that rainbow.
There is no pot.
Knowing
What I know,
What the hell...
Isn't everything..
Worth A Shot.
