Man With A Mission

If anyone cares to listen
I’m a man with a mission
To save myself from my past
I betrayed so many friends
I lied and stole from them
Now I pray my die ain’t cast

Chorus:
I had a pretty wife and a sweet baby girl
But I was addicted to some stuff.
I ended up in jail in a place so dank and stale
Now I finally believe I’ve had enough

I spent all our money
On everything but the rent
‘Till finally we had to leave.
My wife took our baby
Back to her mother’s home
And I lived out there on the streets.

Chorus

Now I’m getting clean
And it makes a poor boy mean
But you know I need to change.
Or I’ll die a junkie’s death
So I pray with all my breath
“Oh, Lord, won’t you save me from these chains?”

Chorus
I ended up in jail in a place so dank and stale
Now I finally believe I’ve had enough
