Come on and gather round And listen to my story About a fall from grace A change of heart A rise to glory A lesson learned A doorway I went through
Now all I know is I was born to lead And not to follow But the places that I led Turned out to be so hollow And in the end I just turned out to be a fool Justification would make me shine My performance a work of art All I ever wanted was to walk that line But I jumped across and broke Your heart
CHORUS: For all I've learned The days I lived it were so rare The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where And when I turned my back on You You stood right there And You never left me No You never left me
These scars I have I know they are here to remind me That everything I've said and done I can leave far behind me The door is shut And I shall nevermore return Everybody says that your childhood dies
A little bit more every day But all around me are mercy's eyes And they'll keep me close to You I pray
Repeat CHORUS
You know I came to love You as a young man Many years ago But now You've brought me out of harm And I feel just like a baby in Your arms
