Ceremony Of Life

Sheila Clavo 1958 (Touro)

Epic
I've been on the path of a bad kid
The devil's path I must forbid
Only you my Savior, can help me rid
Of the burning flames
Where I have closed the lid
To a world you forbid
Since, I've turned away and chose your gig
Bless me, with a future that is big
My life is now full of flavor
Thanks to you my blessed Savior
For the devil's path is an isore
It's your world I adore
Please guide me on the path to your doors Because a future with you is now my chore
The devil's path, I want no more
From morning til night, I now pray
Of a path to the world in which you stay.
