I need to pray for redemption
To stop my sorrow and pain
I need to pray for redemption
The tears wash away my shame
Hit rock bottom failed in defeat My guest for a higher elevation is a nuisance
In a world of confusion and stress
Compiled wit' my daily sinin'
Is a burdon on my chest
Release me, from the evil that lurks inside me
All I ask is that you to guide me
Down the road of a righteous path
Maybe then I can surpass
My oppressors, aggressors
Placed obstacles before me I couldn't master
Backstabbors, played me for a fool
Friends I thought I knew, who were untrue
Misguided me, lied to me, blinded me
To the point I couldn't see the forrest for the trees
Hit rock bottom failed in defeat
I need to pray for redemption
And start all over again
I need to pray for redemption
The tears wash away my shame
I need to pray for redemption
To stop my sorrow and pain
I need to pray for redemption
The tears wash away my shame
Hit rock bottom failed in defeat Faith, one should never give up
Hold your head up high you must live up
To expectations large or small
Individuality's the key to conquer all
Mischief, followed me like a shadow
Lost battles, left me shallow
Still I kept pressin' on
Bullets that grazed me made me strong
I knew if I believed in me
I would achieve great things and be redeemed
Dreams deferred, end in dark alleys
Pessimists, tend to dilly dally
Perceive if you will a thought
Can a leader be great who has no heart
Never ending opportunity awaits
Keep the faith
