I know sorry is not enough To erase all the pain from when I messed up I'm not here to overturn my conviction These eyes are on the road, the road to redemption Well, it's only until you lose Everything that you love that you're forced to choose And there's nothing like a crash to get your attention To keep you on the straight, the road to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness It's a long way down from the fall And the terrible truths, yeah, I own them all And I had to hit the bottom to change my direction To find my way back, back to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness When everyone left me for dead You never gave up, you never quit I remember the words you said We can still be good again Now I'm looking you in the eyes My soul on my sleeve, nothing more to hide And I'm never going back to that condition You showed me the way to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end, you never left when I needed your, needed your forgiveness

From the hands it came down From the side it came down From the feet it came down And ran to the ground Between heaven and hell A teardrop fell In the deep crimson dew The tree of life grew And the blood gave life To the branches of the tree And the blood was the price That set the captives free And the numbers that came Through the fire and the flood Clung to the tree And were redeemed by the blood From the tree streamed a light That started the fight 'Round the tree grew a vine On whose fruit I could dine My old friend Lucifer came Fought to keep me in chains But I saw through the tricks Of six-sixty-six And the blood gave life To the branches of the tree And the blood was the price That set the captives free And the numbers that came Through the fire and the flood Clung to the tree And were redeemed by the blood From his hands it came down From his side it came down From his feet it came down And ran to the ground And a small inner voice Said "You do have a choice." The vine engrafted me And I clung to the tree And the blood gave life To the branches of the tree And the blood was the price That set the captives free And with the numbers that came Through the fire and the flood I clung to the tree And was redeemed by the blood From his hands it came down From his side it came down From the feet it came down And ran to the ground
