Our Father.
I was raped last night by a man
I’m kneeling down here today because I believe
I believe that you’re out there; I want to come home to you
It’s true the world is a monstrous place
I saw the last days of the world flash before my eyes
When he grabbed me at the corner of the street, he took my soul
He took my soul when I felt it inside me
I do not want to be here anymore
Here my prayer, here my cry
Here me lord, I want to come home
Today I’m going to come to you
Where I will be safe
Where my unborn child will be safe
Amen.
It’s hard to absolve sin
Forgiveness comes from within
It all depends on what crime is done
Nothing will end until this has begun
Nothing is harder than to forgive our sins
The heart is stronger when forgiveness begins
Such evil done by others how can we forgive?
So much evil in this world so this is how we live
Forgiveness and mercy is so important now
We have to change this world somehow
But how can we forgive such evil ways?
Forgive our sins now and for always
This world have me confuse,
And I don't what to do.
But am I doom,
To live in this world always,
hating on you.
I'm living in this world which I'm not,
proud of.
But was this world meant for me,
Or was this world meant to be.
But I'm doom to live in this,
world eternally ashamed of you.
