Lord
"Lord", I know your laws
my life, you see my flaws
I can't erase my sins
everyday it lives within
when I do good things
the bad is still there, it hangs
it keeps me from happiness
hoping for forgiveness
I've tried and prayed
I feel it maybe too late
this world has made me realize
it needs you for paradise
happiness never lasts long
misery always prolongs
I'm not a pope, nun, nor angel
I hunger for your world
to be free from evil
waiting for heaven to prevail
like most in life, ive failed
odds of eternal forever
seems to me maybe never
perhaps I can't live my real life
until I passed through that light
