Lonely days gone by without you in my life    Even though I try so hard, I do    Don't forget what you learned along the way    Talk to Him and keep Him close to you    I've lived dangerously    Not noticing at all what I quickly could become so soon    He is always there    He's always been around    You will see Him when you change your view       What a fool I've been    What a fool I've been    Just to think that I    Could live my life    Like time is on my side       I could not see through all the pain I caused    I was lost for my sin blinded me    We serve a great God    For when we turn away    He remains so faithfuly close to you       What a fool I've been    What a fool I've been    Just to think that I    Could live my life    Like I would never die       You were the one to take me back    You take me as I am       [rap]    What a fool that I've been, thug livin', fightin', and sippin gin    Playin' with girls emotions, drownin' in a pool of sin    Hear the Lord keep knocking on my door, but I won't let him in    Sufferin', broken hearted and searching for a friend    Now my partner's doing 25 to life, nothin' nice   When your life is filled with all this pain and strife    Messed up so many times, committed horrible crimes    On my kness cryin' beggin' forgive me, Lord    (One more time)       What a fool I've been    What a fool I've been    Just to think that I    Could live my life    Like I would never die       Father forgive me for the life that I be livin'    I know I been forgiven    But why do I feel like I'm in prison    Cause Lord, I know I did wrong, didn't wanna do right    Shoulda been gone, but ya held on me so tight    So never the less, I kept on runnin' from my problems    So maybe Lordy I could solve 'em, but you know I couldn't    But then I thought you'd leave me, but you wouldn't    So Lordy, please believe me       What a fool I've been    What a fool I've been    What a fool I've been    What a fool I've been
