While the leaves tried to hide the truth and the branches gripped your noose
You held on to the ghost that you once knew
You begged the devil to cut
you free
But he used and abused you
Now you got everything to lose
So you sang a prayer or two
Praying for mercy for a sinner like you
You said your final goodbyes and you promised you left that life behind
But God knows every truth and he sees it in your eyes
So take back all your lies and speak the book of life
And watch how God changes your soul
And the turn your sins from red to white
I know that times get rough
But you must understand
That this world is not your home
So take up your sword and go
And march on to the promise land
