Salvation

Salvation

For your salvation and mine
Take this gift or leave it behind
The wisdom to be truthful and kind
For your salvation and mine

I am but a man, told many lies
Twisted the facts wore every disguise
It has left me empty you can see it in my eyes
The emptiness fills me leaving no room for pride

For your salvation and mine
Take this gift or leave it behind
The wisdom to be truthful and kind
For your salvation and mine

Born into this world a beautiful girl
I will teach her the best I can from the lessons I’ve learned
She will grow to be strong and she will be wise
A more kind-hearted soul you will never find

For your salvation and mine
Take this gift or leave it behind
The wisdom to be truthful and kind
For your salvation and mine

I will rest assured as I lie in the ground
Knowing I did the best I could with the love I pass down
I will not leave you longing I’ll stay by your side
Remember me, there’s no need to cry

For your salvation and mine
Take this gift or leave it behind
The wisdom to be truthful and kind
For your salvation and mine
