Flaming Truth
Looking back upon my life,
With all it’s twists and turns
I am really quite amazed
At all the lessons I have learned
Oh, none of them were easy
I can tell you that
There was lots of pain and heartache
And at times I got off track
I laid the blame on others
For the pain that I went through
That’s the way I saw it
And I believed it too.
But I finally saw the truth
I was the only one to blame
Any time I got burned
I had walked into the flame.
