Salvation

Someday I hope to rise above material chains which hold me down
To turn my anger into love and keep my feet planted on the ground
To undo stigmas societies branded, misconceptions about being a man
To be grateful, take nothing for granted, to live the truth as best I can

I seek the truth whatever that may be
I seek the answers to questions, please God help me

To look at people and see no color, vision clear of prejudice or spite
To treat people just like my brother, for this I pray with all my might
To learn to let go of all my fears and learn to embrace all of my tears
To search for faith and humility, to walk the path which sets me free
Salvation, from society, damnation, have mercy on me

So many lies I told, so many lives I've sold
So far away from who I am I never understand
So many things I regret, so many things that I let
Take me away from myself, too late to take it back

So many dreams I had, so many lives I've lived
So many friends I said goodbye forever
So many times I wish, so many times I dream
Do it again, I swear I'd never

In my quest to uncover the truth the deepest wounds get left behind
And I seek serenity for the war, for the war inside my mind
