JUST A MAN THERE ONCE WAS A MAN, WITH A GOLDEN HEART,
LOVED THIS GIRL, RIGHT FROM THE START;
SHE TURNED HIM LOOSE, SOME TIME AGO,
HIS HEART WAS BROKE, NO WHERE TO GO;
HE RAN AMUCK, THESE PAST FEW YEARS,
TRIED TO SLEEP, BETWEEN THE TEARS;
HE TRIED THE DRUGS, TO HELP HIM COPE,
REALIZED, HE WAS SUCH A DOPE;
HE WENT TO JAIL, AGAIN AND AGAIN,
LIFE PAST HIM BY, BECAUSE OF SIN;
HE ASKS THE LORD, TO HELP HIM OUT,
WITH PRAISE AND GLORY, HE SINGS AND SHOUTS;
HE'S LEARNED TO LIVE, EACH DAY ALONE,
THROUGH ALL OF IT, HE NOW HAS GROWN;
IN SPIRIT, MIND, BODY AND SOUL,
CHANGES IN HIM, BEGAN TO SHOW;
HE LOVES THIS GIRL, JUST THE SAME,
BUT NOW HIS HEART, IS FULL OF SHAME;
YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND MADE HIM STRONG,
TO LOVE AGAIN, IS WHAT HE LONGS;
WILL HE FIND, PEACE, LOVE AND CHEER,
OR DROWN HIS SORROWS, IN ANOTHER BEER;
WHAT WILL BE, HE ASKS HIMSELF,
HE DOSN'T KNOW, WHAT YEARS HAVE LEFT;
SO GIVE HIM LORD, A PEACE OF MIND,
LET HIM WALK, AND LET HIM SHINE;
