Don’t turn back now that your almost there
Don’t you give up when you feel that nobody cares
Don’t give into alcohol and drugs
Don’t ever forget what you went through with them thugs
When you get out this time just ignore those who do wrong
god I never thought id be in this place so long
but this time its going to be different I’m not playing around
when temptation lurks behind me i will stand my grounds
I’m sticking beside my family this time and dropping all my old friends
ill listen to my mom and not test her to see how far she'll bend
I know i say it'll be different every time i get out of jail
but a month or 2 later I’m back it has never failed
even if nobody has faith in me, god always will
there was a big empty space in my heart now which he fills
you have to realize that in that world you cant do it on your own
not everyone will be there at 3:00 in the morning to answer the phone
what will you do when everyone dies and there is no one left
who will be there beside your death bed while taking your last breath
every time i get put in that jail cell and I’m in that room alone
I’ll cry to god and wish and hope that at court he'll send me home
no matter where i go and no matter the troubles I get into
god is there for me like nobody else when I just don’t know what to do
so when you think that there’s no hope and that there’s never going to be a way
just remember that god will be there to listen to every word you say!
its a shame i have to rename this poem to something else to get n e one to read it cuz its really about god!
