The day he showed me the light lyrics

Artist  : Jessi hernandez 
Song : The day he showed me the light
 

We each walk the path that you've chosen
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm living
ain't right
Browns hate white, white hate black, it's right
back to the same fight
They got us suspecting a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the lord
Lord, you left me stranded, and I don't know why
Told me to live my life, now I'm ready to die
Ready to fly, I cry, looking at the sky screaming
why 
You told me you would take those fears, but you
left me with tears. 
What'd I do so bad that it sent you away from me?
Not only sent you away, but made you stay away
from me?
(My child I'm here, as I've always been
 It is you who went away and now are back again
 What did you say, I tell you follow my word, and
be true
What did you do?)  Well the world is cruel
(What have you seen?)  Darkness and hell at a
glance
(What do you want?)  All I want is another chance
(Just because you went away, my doors are not
locked
 Want to come back home?  All you got to do is
knock)
You see I left home a boy, but returned as a man
Full grown, and I'm still not able to stand
(I gave you a hand)  Well, but I was looking the
wrong way
Figured out the plan, then I started to pray
And that prayer, took me from here to over there
Back to over here, now I ask you where
Where do I belong, do I fit in?
Things on my mind, where do I begin?
It's easier to sin, but it hurts my heart
I'm really trying to win, so where do we start?
(Thou shalt not steal)  But what if he stole from
me?
(Thou shalt not kill)  But what if he's trying to
kill me?
(Thou shalt not, take my, name in vain
 No matter how hard it rains, withstand the pain)

I'm ready to meet him -- our father, who art in
heaven
I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance at
twenty-seven
No longer afraid to knock on your door
Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war
After what I just saw, I'm riding with the Lord
Cause I really can't afford to lose my head by
the sword
And now that I've seen, what I need to see
Please take me, where I - need to be
(What have you learned?)  It's better to tell the
truth than to lie
(What have you learned?)  To love my life until I
die
(What have you learned?)  Violence isn't always
the key
(What have you learned?)  You can't always
believe what you see
(What have you learned?)  It's better to forgive
and forget
(What have you learned?)  Give as you expect to
get
(What have you learned?)  That I can't go on
without you
(What have you learned?)  I must had been a fool
to ever doubt you!
