forgiven

I ask on every prayer to be forgiven
yet I thank him for this life I'm liven
never pray a selfish prayer for my gain
I pray for everyone else to not suffer, no pain
I never prayed for you to love me back
never prayed to give me what in your eyes I lack
my happiness never have I spoken when I kneel
my heart ache and pain that only death will heel
I never prayed for you the same
don't hate or even want to put blame
can't pray and have someone change there life
only daydream happy with you as my wife
so yes I do pray for you to feel no pain only laugh
no more tears only smiles on your lifes path
I ask to be forgave for all of my sins
dont complain about the pain that never ends
I never pray to go back and change that day had to go to his house so dead on the asphalt I did lay
prayed to God my first selfish prayer I thought
was it worth the time I bought
I prayed not to die that day
for at home in her death bed my mom did lay
to see her youngest die before his time
no way to write how I felt in this rhyme
I pray that humanity will return
the next generation to have values and respect they learn
I pray for the people who have stole from me
I asked that they righteously begin to see
I only can hope all this suffering and pain
when I go to heaven will not remain
yet how can there be heaven I can't picture
I believe the bible each and every scripture
with out you there with me hand and hand
won't be much different than this forsakened land
I can handle the physical pain
yet don't think my heart will every feel the same
so as I end this life I'm liven
I pray for all my sins to be forgiven
