The Balance

Nine years have passed me by,
 Had to heal my corrupted mind
 Now I breathe in a peace
 My demons have ceased
 I leave my old ways behind
 Visions had filled my memory
 Of a time of much darker days
 The road was so long, but then I grew strong
 And emerged from the endless maze
 There's more to life than what we see
 I have died and been reborn in the balance
 I never thought that I would see the dawn of a new day
 I used to fight through the unknown, for all my lifetime
 Now I've found a way for me to be a better man
 I'm given a second chance
 To fulfill all my deepest dreams
 Didn't trust what I've known
 I felt so alone
 My past life had to be redeemed
 I'm ready to live my life
 And repent for my years of sin
 Erased all my pain
 Washed off the disdain
 My soul has been cleansed from within
 I know the truth now.
 I am free! I've found the balance to create a better me
 And fill my life with energy
 Now I see that life's a journey, everything is meant to be
 A sea of opportunity
 I used to have my doubts; had to surmount,
 For too long I chose not to listen to myself,
 Ignored the honest truth, I was a fool
 Then I made the choice that I would not suffer anymore
 I am free! I've found the balance to create a better me
 And fill my life with energy
 Now I see! That life's a journey, everything is meant to be
 A state of true serenity
 Builds in me, true love has found its home for all eternity
 My spirit will live here in harmony
 I can now accept who I've become
 My life begins here and now
