My Soul to Keep

staring at the pictures on your shelf
saying "i wonder if i looked in the mirror, could i recognize myself?"
cause suddenly, life is not so clear
i got scars on my body, they tell a story
with a heart stained in fear.
could i ever bring myself to forgive my past?
and if i never did, i can't promise it will last.
and as i lay me down to sleep,
i pray the lord
my soul to keep
if i should die before i wake
i pray the lord
my soul to take
i tell myself that i'm worth more than this.
sayin "if i were to leave this world, i'd truly be missed"
think of all the people you've made smile.
just know that in their hearts
that you were worth their while
