Soft

I've been hard when I should of been soft Always held myself aloft When I should of just listened, I talked When I should of stayed I walked Life had a way of leaving me behind I acted like I didn't mind But I find What I now feel is pain Life left it's stain Kinda lost my way Just couldn't stay Walked so many miles Saw so many fake smiles Fought alone, the dark Wasn't a walk in the park Sometimes I lost my way Couldn't find the words to say A blind man unable to see The goodness before me So I stumbeled along My way was long The way was wrong So nothing went right But still I did fight And on I did go My way was slow My ears deaf my eyes blind Couldn't see before my face Survived by grace Lost all I had Made me sad Never glad Then my heart Seem to come apart From my eyes ,fell tears Come to life , my fears My life stumbled to a halt Was it really my fault Everything was gone I'd been so wrong For everything I had fought I was wrong in thought The trouble it brought Then I began to see How things really be From my heart, melted the ice I started trying to be nice Left the rage behind Myself I had to find Now in the mirror, the man I see That really couldn't be Oh it's me A smile I try to wear For everyone I try to care Hope is with me It has set me free Darkness behind , in the past Hope can forever last Turn darkness into light You still may have to fight To keep your mind free But when through hopes eyes you look Life becomes a book In which you can write To help others in their own fight To see the light
