Born Again

I came into the world, into the wild

No place for a child

Used my voice to howl

With the ghouls of night

In the dying light

Had to learn to get what I need

In the dark, empty

Instincts are guiding me

Like a beast to some blood

And I can’t get enough

I’m losing control; my body, my soul

Are slowly fading away

But I’m ready now

To feel the power of change

I’m my mother’s child

I’m my father’s son

It took me awhile

But my time has come

To be born again

Running scared in between what I hate

And what I need

Savior and enemy are both trying

To take my soul

And I can’t hide no more

Stumble out to the light

Raise my fist up to fight

Then I catch your eye

So full of love

Lord, what have I done?

I cry at your feet, wounded for me

And all of the monsters and men

But here in your light

We can begin again

I’m my mother’s child

I’m my father’s son

It took me a while

But my time has come

To be born again
