No one ever believed in me I didn't believe in myself Not a word of praise ever came my way Nothing but shaking heads and doubt I started taking the low road Started living just for the end I didn't find God or Jesus And the devil was my only friend The tree was felled and falling Walls caving in all around Now I'm turning over a new leaf Gonna take it to a higher ground I had a wreckless disposition So I blacked out all the sun There was something that had control of me I was a loaded and a smoking gun I came in through the back door I was biting all the helping hands I was angry loud and oh so proud But now I'm ready to make a stand The tree was felled and falling Walls caving in all around Now I'm turning over a new leaf Gonna take it to a higher ground A bad seed I was planted But I forgot to grow I was burnin' it down to the ground I was sinking Surely you must know
