98

Come on and gather round and listen to my story
 About a fall from grace
 A change of heart a rise to glory
 A lesson learned, a doorway I went through
 Now all I know is I was born to lead and not to follow
 But the places that I led turned out to be so hollow
 And in the end I just turned out to be a fool
 Justification would make me shine
 My performance a work of art
 All I ever wanted was to walk that line
 But I jumped across and broke Your heart
 For all I've learned the days I lived it were so rare
 The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where
 And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there
 And You never left me, no You never left me
 These scars I have, I know they are here to remind me
 That everything I've said and done I can leave far behind me
 The door is shut and I shall never more return
 Everybody says that Your childhood dies
 A little bit more every day
 But all around me are mercy's eyes
 And they'll keep me close to You I pray
 For all I've learned the days I lived it were so rare
 The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where
 And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there
 And You never left me, no You never left me
 You know I came to love You as a young man many years ago
 But now You've brought me out of harm
 And I feel just like a baby in Your arms
 For all I've learned the days I lived it were so rare
 The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where
 And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there
 And You never left me, no You never left me
 You never never never, no You never left me
