08 Never Again
Dm
I've walked a long dusty road Leading through a land of waste. I've forged through the night starved cold and grime it coats my face. I sure don't want this to be my fate. Just let me come back again. If you'd only be my friend. Can't I ever go back again? Please don't leave me my friend. I want this disgrace to end. On one thing you can depend, yes, I'd never do that again. A hey-ey It put me through my paces and almost buried me - yeah! I won't do that again! I want it wiped away. And just go back to that day when everything was still okay. You wanna call it accident. Truth known it was due to my negligence. I'm feeling the pain, every breath. Just try to imagine a fate worse than death. I'd never do that again. I'm left with no one to be my friend. Yes, I'd never do that again. And now that Jesus is my only friend Cannot forget today the ones who have died by my hands. So full of rage, I clench my fists! I'd sooner loose them than suffer this. Soon all remarks come back to this, of whether I truly remorse or repent. No punishment will ever take away the disaster of my mistake. Pray to God for providence and hope He carries all fate to good ends but surely I pray most for this that they who I've injured are lain on his chest © 2010 OneToMany |
Liner Notes: This song was "inspired" by putting myself in the place of the person responsible for this tragic event and trying to imagine how I would feel:
