Held High
When I was young
I was in God's grace
Felt his love and peace
Could take me any place
But as I got older
My soul grew colder
And the sin started in
As I grew much bolder
Not proud of things I've done
I was on another level
Almost no emotions
When I held hands with the devil
Drinking life away
Almost everyday
No cares in the world
Mental prison's where I'd stay
For over four years
I had no fears
But deep inside
I shed a million tears
I had to make a change
But it was hard to break the chain
Livin like I did
Could make the good go insane
I started praying at night
So maybe I would see
That I was blinded by the darkness
Now I'm finally free
Feeling like a new person
Always staring at the sky
So when I die
My head will be held high
