There were times when I questioned my reasons   Thought I wouldn't last   Seemed the hand of god held my head underwater   Somehow I fought back      It's still not over yet   No, it won't let me quit      Found myself more than just once    Praying down on my knees   My search for answers only led to one more questions   Sometimes for faith you've got to bleed       By now I've bled my share   Now it's my turn to redeem      When it comes my way, I won't be scared   I've been waiting all my life   Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth   And the true test is time      Give all you have because you believe    Sell your mortal soul   And if you're not a predator then, oh-you better pray   Bet it all now or fold      But there's still a danger there   Don't become one of them      When it comes my way, I won't be scared    I've been waiting all my life   Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth   And the true test is time      For all I've done- some good and some bad   Don't hang me just yet   Judge me not on one thing I've done
