98 Songtext
von Clay Crosse

Come on and gather ′round and listen to my story
About a fall from grace, a change of heart, a rise to glory
A lesson learned, a doorway I went through
Now all I know is I was born to lead and not to follow
About the places that I led turned out to be so hollow
And in the end I just turned out to be a fool

Justification would make me shine
My performance, a work of art
And all I ever wanted was to walk that line
But I jumped across and broke Your heart

For all I've learned the days I lived in were so rare
The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where
And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there
And You never left me, no, You never left me

The scars I have, I know they are here to remind me
That every thing I′ve said and done I can leave far behind me
The door is shut and I shall never more return


Everybody says that your childhood dies
A little bit more every day
And all around me are Mercy's eyes
They'll keep me close to You I pray

For all I′ve learned the days I lived in were so rare
The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where
And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there
And You never left me, no, You never left me

You know I came to love You as a young man many years ago
But now You′ve brought me out of harm
And I feel just like a baby in Your arms

For all I've learned the days I lived in were so rare
The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where
And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there
And You never left me, no, You never left me
No, You never, never, no-oh, You never left me, oh-oh

Fall from grace
A change of heart, a rise to glory, yeah
A lesson learned, a lesson learned
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, yeah, ooh, hey, yeah
