Somewhere

Rehabilitation! Means to reestablish the good name of,
It didn't come from CDC, I got help from God above.
My reputation has been damaged, my character has been defamed
They call me a firebug, hey! That's not my name.
They continue to judge me, causing me heartache & strife,
It's their job to convict me, and give me my 3rd strike.
I already know when I get out, what I gotta do,
Walk a thin line on thin ice, I already for strike 2.
I asked for forgiveness, as my feelings get wrote down,
All I have is resentment and failure, when I walk around.
My heart is contrite, my spirit is always broke,
Because I never took heed, to what God has wrote.
Never listened before, but God has a plan,
Showed me my talent, as I became a better man.
I neglected my talent before, the punishment I hated,
It became known to me, a year after I became isolated.
If it wasn't for that, where would I be today?
Out there being a homewrecker, never taking time to pray.
I look at myself now, and where I have been before,
I'm a man of change, it didn't come knocking at my door,
I had to find it, I had to show that I wanted to,
That I wanted to change, and doing things I hate to do.
So my life is a story, so why not try to share,
Because rehabilitation is good, but it had to start somewhere.
