Realization

Bittersweet

God knows I've done a bunch to change.

But I still have a lot left to fear.

A big one, I taught my kids just how to pray.

But in fact I ain't prayed in years.

And the devil told me I didn't need to swear on his name.

Just said I didn't need to try, pretended like I didn't hear.

But actions speak louder than words, this full reward hurts more than pain.

Not working being closed to Jah, means Satan's always near.

And I can't make friends with angels cause they won't hang around with demons.

Even if I wanted to cry and plead I don't think that they'd believe it.

Sometimes I want to reach back to the stars but than the feeling leaves me.

To think I could keep my relationships and get better would be dreamin'.
