Lyrics

A lot of people get caught up in bad stuff in life Not every one of ?em is a criminal tho. Some people got problems Blind world, you just can?t see.

He was a good kid back in the day, straight A grades, was raised to praise God in His amazing ways. But then it changed, something happened, the way he?s acting was strange. Like in a play he?d be the one stayin in back of the stage, and he?s afraid but he never knew what he was afraid of...no reason to be scared, was like a story he made up. And he played with his toys. All the neighborhood boys knocked on the door for him to come out but he?d rather avoid being one of the guys, something in front of his eyes. No one can see like when its dark and there?s no sun in the sky. He went from doin good in school to not wantin to try and showin signs of things that people did when they?re wanting to die. They wondered why cause most of the time he kinda seemed like he?s fine, but when nobody could see him, he cried. That?s why he?d hide just so no one else could notice his pain. When he explained it was like no one else would know what he was sayin and it got to the point where there was nothing to say. And for days at a time he was running away. He couldnt tell the way he was feeling was the beginning of hell, but nobody there to listen he?d just sing to himself. Might as well, he?s in a box without a way to unlock it and decided he?d do anything just trying to stop it. And he knew about the things they told him not to do, but when you got to, there ain?t nobody stopping you

Stay with me. I don?t ever want you away from me. Cause together we?ll find a way youll see. And it?s gonna be better one day.

Then still it aint the way that they say it should be but until that day just keep prayin for me.

So by now he?s found an angel that liked to party a lot, so why not, you know how it goes, it just started with po.t And he got a feeling like he could finally fit in with the crowd, a new world, and all the girls wanted to get with him. Here, have a little beer. Now he?s sippin them down gettin? hiccups while the whole room?s spinnin around. And now he?s kissin her and gettin into strippin her down, but didn?t know she was a hoe and she?d been gettin? around. But a night full or romance, friends and lights, he didnt know he took a chance that might have ended his life. But then again he wants to do it all again tonight. He knows it?s wrong, but he?s trying to pretend it?s right. That?s how it begins, once he?s in it?s like the only way to find the piece that he needs when he don?t know the way He dont know why he?s gettin high cause its so cold and gray as the lonely days he wanted to go throw away. Now it?s too late to get away, he can?t quit this now and then his hands start to shake cause he?s addicted now. Just a little needle prick if its quick with no pain and he?s sick trying to kick so he?s sniffin? cocaine. With no money now he?s out tryin to rob somebody to get some dope. It?s like a joke but it?s not so funny when its you doing things you said you?d never do.I ts not your choice when the voice in your head isn?t you.

Stay with me. I don?t ever want you away from me. Cause together we?ll find a way youll see. And it?s gonna be better one day.

Then still it aint the way that they say it should be but until that day just keep prayin for me.


Finally endin? up in jail but no one?s sending bail and all the friends he thought he had and no one?s sending mail. He?s in a cell now, there isn?t any place to hide. And his pain?s even worse now, it stayed inside, the whole time realizin? he believed in a lie. Tears fell from his eyes, he let his feelings fly. Looked around at the walls, it was hell that he saw. A thousand hours with a shower and a telephone call was all he had now. How?d he ever do what he did. He?s going through the same thing that he went through as a kid. And nothing?s changed, suckin pain like a prisoner in a cage. It wasn?t him at all, just the bad decisions he made, to get involved in a puzzle that could never be solved. with alcohol cause every drug is like a door that revolves, inside a hallway of walls no beginning or end. like if you knew you would do it, you?d wouldn?t do it again. It only shows now he knows the circumstance that he?s in. Go everywher to find the answers when the answer?s within. Now when he?s lonely he goes alone and he prays. Llike it?s so hard behind these bars, God show me he way. He gets in bed and lays his head on his pillow to sleep next to a cross he hung up on his window sill that he keeps. That very night he had a dream he could fly like a bird.The next day they set him free to the life he deserved.

Stay with me. I don?t ever want you away from me. Cause together we?ll find a way youll see. And it?s gonna be better one day.

Then still it aint the way that they say it should be but until that day just keep prayin for me.

Stay with me. I don?t ever want you away from me. Cause together we?ll find a way youll see. And it?s gonna be better one day.

Then still it aint the way that they say it should be but until that day just keep prayin for me.
