Lyrics
Verse 1
Born in ’81, in a world so dark and cold,
I asked if the food I ate was poison, would it take hold?
Questions in my mind, was I a boy or a girl?
Picked on at school, I felt my sanity unfurl.
In ’90 met a friend, a light in my broken night,
By ’96 we’d find a church, searching for the light.
Chorus
Through the trials and the pain, I’d stumble and I’d fall,
But God’s grace was there to catch me when I’d call.
From the darkness and the doubt, to the hope I find anew,
I’m still searching for the strength to see it through.
Verse 2
In ‘97 I reached for the end, felt I’d lost my fight,
But my friend took me to church, and prayers turned my night.
The Reverend’s voice was strong, cast those devils out with might,
I felt the Holy Ghost, but the joy didn’t hold tight.
In January ’98, I received the Spirit’s breath,
But soon I lost that flame, haunted by my own death.
Chorus
Through the trials and the pain, I’d stumble and I’d fall,
But God’s grace was there to catch me when I’d call.
From the darkness and the doubt, to the hope I find anew,
I’m still searching for the strength to see it through.
Bridge
August ’99, God healed my troubled mind,
Got my GED, in the future, hope I’d find.
College came in time, and I graduated bright,
Got my license in ‘06, I’d learned to take flight.
Testified five times, the world heard my tale,
But I still struggled hard, in jobs and love I’d fail.
Chorus
Through the trials and the pain, I’d stumble and I’d fall,
But God’s grace was there to catch me when I’d call.
From the darkness and the doubt, to the hope I find anew,
I’m still searching for the strength to see it through.
Outro
In the choir I found my voice, my soul began to heal,
With faith and prayer, I hold on to what’s real.
Though I’ve stumbled many times and my life’s not what I dreamed,
I keep reaching for the promise, for the hope that’s yet unseen.
