Transformation
I never thought it’d be this way
But I’m no fortune teller
I was so deep into a life of drugs
I was the buyer and the seller.
I never thought it’d be this way
Yet others weren’t surprised
I was a troubled child at birth
Is that the truth or a load of lies.
I never thought it’d be this way
I hate who I’ve become
So why don’t I throw it all away
Just quit and say I’m done.
I never thought I’d be this way
This isn’t what I planned
I don’t want to be a boy any more
I want to be a man.
I’m glad that it could be this way
Now I can finally see
That all the things I’ve worked for
Are here because of me.
I hope that it can be better than this
Something I never thought I’d say
Cause now I do not hate my life
And can see more than just today.
