Forgive me father for I have sinned,

It happens again and again,

Taking your name in vain,

And ignoring the words of your legacy,

Oh father I know I'm young,

And I may as well be stupid,

But the excuses never run so deep,

As the blood you left in me,

I tried,

But failed,

I flew,

But fell,

So now I feel as if life is passing me by,

And I as well am passing you by,

I know I am a sinner by birth,

And I know I will keep sinning until I die,

Such things are inevitable,

But the pain I feel inside,

Gets deeper and deeper,

It's the knife twisting 'round,

That makes this so hard,

The pain of knowing,

That I am taking your love for granted,

I am sorry,

And I promise I'll get better,

I just hope,

Father,

That you are still waiting,

For your lost child,

The sheep who strayed away,

Forgive me father,

FOR I HAVE SINNED,

It happens...
