[bodytext] => I remember all my life I tried I was born again and then I died My hand from yours I took away But all the while you begged me to stay I lived by the commandments and followed your rules I didn't consult with the liars, scoffers and fools I gave my all and nothing less Every sin I did confess I grew up this way, It must be right So I went along, without a fight I had no time to think for myself My questions and doubts were on the shelf Then I grew up, I began to stray My hope and faith started to fray Things have changed, I knew they had Christianity became some fad My eyes were open, I left your side This life of mine, I could not hide It was hard, too much stress The way I live, you would not bless Your boundaries and codes are set too high I would fail every time I'd try I learned the hard way and lost it all I had no one there to break my fall Now I have found my own way to live More to love and more to give My mind is open with all to see Everything's clear, I feel so free Nothing is all black and white There is gray in all our sight Now I'm new, I'm truly born again I finally realized I did not have to win But then at times when I'm alone I can't find that place I once called home And then sometimes I am afraid To think of things as if I'd stayed But this is it, I cannot live a lie For you sometimes I almost cry I have to move on and find my place Maybe then I'll find your grace [comments] => 4 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 61 [informant] => bluoreo [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
