lyrics

Hell and Back

Verse 1
My happy life turned sad
What was good became bad
I used to laugh then I cried
Like part of me had died
Deep down inside
I still had my pride
Which way what direction
I needed more than divine intervention

Chorus
For twenty painful years
I was on the dreaded track
No more living with fear
I've been to hell and back

Verse 2
There was no joy only sorrow
Everyday, again tomorrow
What if, was my cry
I kept asking, why
My mind couldn't stand still
To slow it down I took another pill
I had to change my way
To live another day

Chorus
For twenty painful years
I was on the dreaded track
No more living with fear
I've been to hell and back
