For most of my days on this world where we live,
I’ve had troubles that seemed to be vast.
Know matter how much I went, two steps ahead,
I’d be haunted by things from my past.
With ALL  victories I’d tell myself,
 This is it Dave, your finally on top
Then the bottom falls out,
and I’d blame it on  luck
How will  this madness  stop .
If there’s a great power, that leads us all,
where has he been hiding ,for years .
that’s when it hit me ,
deep down inside
there’s  salvation , stop, shedding tears .
if I could just , step outside myself,
and give the good lord a chance ,
Then my life could be different ,
then it had been before,
and this thought, I truly romanced .
so I hit my knees, and I prayed to this god,
what the hell, I had nothing to loose.
like a lightning bolt, god said to me,
 all I ever had   to do was choose .
I choose life over death ,
.and to be a good man ,
to all that I know and have harmed .
Then my life took a turn ,
for the better I feel ,
 and it wasn’t because I was charmed .
