Here’s my story don’t be saddened I’m a criminal and addict I’m a liar and a thief But I believe in Karma Haven’t lived like Bodidharma Quite the other extreme We all kick it no exemptions And wind up at the station Where we get our ticket To redemption or damnation All our sins Weighed like grains of sand And I have mostly been an evil man So I lose life with every hair I’m shedding And sweat so hard I soak my bedding Every cell To the Earth Is returned Every one of us Gets what we deserve But I believe in transformation And seeing signs in dreams I proclaim in my elation Every soul can be redeemed If you prove your guts When everything is on the line If you show your heart When it goes into overtime If you survive By the strength of your wits And preserve your life Even when you are over it And take risks With no guarantees Earn your freedom But nothing comes easy Nothing comes easy Nothing comes easy Every spark to the universe returns Every one of us gets what we deserve And you have fucked up once or twice Dropped the ball Made a bad call Taken some bad advice When you were young and stayed up late We were high and we were drinking We had privileged lives And made mistakes when we weren’t thinking And we have so much guilt and shame And no one but ourselves to blame All our deeds placed upon the scale You can beg and plead to no avail You can’t change the past But don’t let it hover Take charge at last You can’t get a redo But you can recover If you prove your guts When everything is on the line If you show your heart When it goes into overtime If you survive By the strength of your wits And preserve your life Even when you are over it And take risks With no guarantees Earn your freedom But nothing comes easy Nothing comes easy Nothing comes easy Every spark to the universe returns Every one of us gets what we deserve I’m not convinced I’m a likable person I have been told but I have my doubts All the friends that I was making mistakes with We’ve all fallen out We’ve all fallen out But I believe in getting sober Achieving clarity I won’t always be so toxic I can change polarity If I prove my guts (We all get what we deserve) If I show my heart (We all get what we deserve) If I change my life I’m a dreamer I’m a fighter And my fate is not decided Nothing comes easy Nothing comes easy Nothing comes easy Every spark to the universe returns Every one of us gets what we deserve But nothing comes easy…
