A Collect Call From Home

I was your hope but I let you down No remorse as they laid you down So much more I could have done My Lord knows I should have done The answers escape me once again Overwhelmed by indecision once again I rose today expecting change I sleep tonight expecting change Will I wake the man they hoped for Or with the peace I always hoped for Leaving the darkness behind me Never again looking behind me Redemption can’t be earned, just accepted This life was given to me, I just accepted
