New Light

I look back on my past
 And realize my wrongs,
 But I was confused about myself
 And where I did belong.

 Too many decisions
 That I have to make.
 So many choices
 I'd rather not take.

 When I thought I found right
 It was wrong all along.
 Wanting bad choices I made
 To simply be gone.

 Then I prayed for a light
 To show me the way.
 To keep me from failing
 Or falling away.

 I only asked for a little
 But was given the sun.
 I didn't deserve it
 For all the things I'd done.

 Once I saw the sun
 I knew the way to go.
 The light it gave was brilliant.
 It is the best I know.

 I want to see the sun forever
 So it may guide me through my life.
 Helping me to be stronger
 And abolishing my strife.

 And when the sun does set
 I will have nothing to fear.
 I know it will be back again
 To help me through my years.
