Analysis of What I needed
I neededto be fair
So life had a meaning
I needed to be true
So I'd make it through
I needed to forgive
So I could continue to live
I needed to understand
That God had a plan
I needed to know God was near
Some how I always heard him
Constantly in my ear
He's one I could count on
To always br here.
He's the reason of my progress
Of losing all that fear.
