Before You

Before you 
i was weak with attentions 
of being strong
Before you 
i couldn't do right 
was always wrong 
Before you 
there was this 
empty feeling 
hanging above my head 
before you 
i was living 
but dead 
Before you 
my direction was 
narrow 
Before you 
there was a craving for you
Before you 
my bones was aching for you 
Before you infinity seem
light years away 
Before you 
Plenty seem hard to bare
Before you 
entity's wasin there
Before you 
enemy's i fear 
Before you 
i wasing even here
thank you God for life
