Turn the Page

The book of my life is open, 
there is a story thats told; 
Just open up to page number one, 
and watch the story unfold. 
You start with the many mistakes, 
that in life I've made; 
The many errors in judgement I've seen, 
then you turn the page. 

You see the crimes that I have done, 
the heartache I have caused; 
You see my many stints in jail, 
represented by a long pause. 
You will feel all the pain that I have felt, 
the fury and the rage; 
You will see all the tears I've cried, 
then you'll turn the page. 

Yes my life is an open book, 
But theres still much more to come; 
For I'm in a long pause right now, 
my new life has yet begun; 
For once I finally am realesed, 
and leave behind my cage; 
Then you will see my life anew, 
as you turn the page.
