Now I Understand

Now I understand,
why I was put through every test.
Now I understand, 
that I am no different than the rest...

Now I understand,
why I layed there in the gutter.
Now I understand,
You heard every word I muttered...

Now I understand,
you allowed me what I was taught.
Now I understand,
it was the Devil who I faught...

Now I understand,
why my mind was full of aggression.
Now I understand,
the Devil had full possession...

Now I understand,
It is you who we should praise.
Now I understand,
you died for our better days...
