The Pain is Here to Stay

The pain is here to stay
There is no escape,
don't turn the other way
It ain't a cape, I wear the drape (humbly)

Far away in a country
From which I had to flee (refugee)
Where I was born,
where I came from

Now with more graves
than relatives alive
don't cave, misbehave
deprive, contrive

Reality is not what it used to be
Growing up, a wanna be
Now a grown man
Kind of forgot the plan
And the promises I made
And prayed, in first grade,
All seems to fade
Away, Away

Total Depravity
Is like gravity
Pulling me down
Made from dust back to the ground
There is no crown
Ain't ready for another round

The only remedy
Is the Son of Divinity
And Christianity
The eternal reality.

Eating the Trout Trophy
(It's a hidden meaning)
Overdosing with coffee
Screaming and dreaming
For a new beginning...

The pages of Scripture
Paint a new picture
The eternal hope
I will put on the white rope
Of Salvation
And Redemption
I am a new creation.

I am alive
No longer deprived.
