My Story – B. Reith – letras

My story is a simple one to tell, popped out my momma’s tummy26th of January winter up in MilwaukeeTwenty minutes later, peein’ on the doctor’s shirtPops makin’ jokes sayin’, « Look, doc, it works »So they tell me anyways, I can’t remember anything before pre-KIt’s all blurred together and each day my memory fades like worn leatherBut what I can recall is sweeter than warm weather with a cool breezeSaturdays were heaven, wake up watch cartoons from 7 straight to 11Then it’s outside to play whatever sport was in seasonMy cousins they were older so that made me the weak oneBut it didn’t stop me, all we did was play we made up our own gamesRolled up socks and faked likeThey were hand grenades makin’ forts out of couchesMom would come home mad at how messed up the house wasI stayed out of trouble most of the timeBut when I got out of line, Pops would smack my behindThe wonder years are over now somehow I’m fully grownStill I fully know I didn’t make it this far on my ownThere is no way to count all of the mistakes I have madeAnd I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Your graceAnd you’re still here with me, You never gave up after all this timeAnd I owe it all to You, You’re the one that got me throughYou wrote my storyLooking back on high school I see how foolish that I really wasI thought I was the coolest dude there ever was’Til I went off to college and learned nobody there even knew who I wasIt all taught me that I fall shortLike junior year when they cut me even though I left it all on the courtI had to learn how to fail and to fallSo I could learn how to get up shake the dust off walk and stand tallLearn how to call on the one who’s been there through it allI remember when I got the phone callFreshman year in Virginia, my grandfather passed awayEight years after my grandmother guess he couldn’t waitTo see her on the other side at the funeral I criedSo hard I never knew I’d hurt that bad insideBut over time wounds heal and all that’s rememberedIs the love that we shared while together foreverThere is no way to count all of the mistakes I have madeAnd I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Your graceAnd you’re still here with me, You never gave up after all this timeAnd I owe it all to You, You’re the one that got me throughYou wrote my storyThis is my story and I wouldn’t change a thingI was put here for a purpose this was written by a KingWas carefully designed, hand-crafted and madeBy the one who’s never made a mistakeI want to give all it takes from here on out to make up for lost timeBut what’s done is done and I can’t press rewindAll of my regrets are chasin’ me from behindBut the future’s unwritten, I’m racin’ towards the finish lineSo from here on out everyday countsI know Your grace meets me no matter what the amountDespite that I’m hard-hearted, You gave me a clean slateAnd promised that You’d finish what you’ve startedAnd even though a four minute long song can barely scratch the surfaceIt’s sure enough to show I’m far from perfectSo thank You for the past, help me live in the presentTo prepare me for the future ’til my story ends
