I was a boy
Whose life was miserable,
Faced with agony and pains from the inside out.
I was that boy
whose ways wasn't pure
Who was faced with depression
I was that Boy who was tired of everything.
I was that boy.
A boy who was weak and weary,
Who was tired of life and wished he wasn't given birth to.
I was that Boy
Who was self centered and greedy.
Who doesn't Care for the needy.
I was that Boy
Who was loose
I was that boy who was lost in lust.
I was that very Boy...
THEN...
I'm that boy.
Who is changed
I'm that boy who is salvaged
I'm the boy who is loved
I'm the boy who is redeemed
I'm that boy who is set free....
I'm that Boy who is a new creature...
