AS TIME IS PASSING AND I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO
I SIT AND THINK TRYING TO GROW
I'VE DONE SO MANY THINGS THAT I KNEW WASN'T RIGHT
AS A FOOL USUALLY DOES, I THOUGHT ALL MY MOVES WERE TIGHT
THEY COST ME MY FREEDOM AS I LAY HERE IN JAIL
I PONDER AND I WONDER, OH WHAT THE HELL
IF I CONTINUE TO DO THE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE
WHEN THE RACE IS FINALLY OVER, THE DEVIL WILL HAVE WON
HE BEAT ME AT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS MY GAME
AND NOW THAT IT IS OVER, I FEEL SO ASHAMED
I GAVE WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A HELL OF A FIGHT
BUT NOW ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY AT NIGHT
I PRAY FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE THINGS THAT ARE TRUE
I ASK HIM TO TELL ME THE THINGS NOT TO DO
LIFE IS A GIFT, AS WE KNOW WE ARE BLESSED
ESPECIALLY EACH DAY BECAUSE WE CAN GET UP AND GET DRESSED
I USE TO BE AFRAID AT THE THINGS HE HAS DONE
WHEN PEOPLE WOULD MENTION HIM I BEGAN TO RUN
BUT RUNNING IS SOMETHING I WON'T DO ANYMORE
BECAUSE NOW I DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
