The Light

When I was born all I could do was cry Life's such a thorn cause I was born to die Life's such a rose blooming in the night Hoping for love, reaching for light And so there I was all alone with me Standing in the dark too afraid to see So, I closed my eyes and began to fight That's when I turned away from the blinding light Well, I grew up fast and caught the midnight train Oh, those twists and turns on a track of pain I held onto me with all my might Around the bend I came, searching for light A thorn and a rose, I had it all wrong So I sat me down and wrote this song I prayed to God to make things right That's when He called my name and when I saw the light
