Taking Everything

I walked down a lane with a life of pain with a wish that I knew where I would be  
With no cash in hand and I'm feeling the pain I knew that drug was taking 
everything. I opened my eyes and God made me clean but what I had once had 
is no where to be seen. With the friends that I have and the new things to be God 
has made me, me again now all I have done is now just a pain and It's my time 
to make a new dream.
