Mote It Be

I was on some heavy shit
Trying to numb the things I don’t want to admit
I attempted suicide
Though I tried
I could not go through with it

I was on some heavy shit
Trying to reason
Why I had to take so many hits
I’m ashamed to live with this
So I tried
I attempted suicide

Then light seeped in
Like a choir
A symbolic salvation
A kind liberation
And I was free
Mote it be

To know of rampage
At such a young age
What else could I have known?
And though I endure
I had to face more
I pray they one day atone

The light seeped in
Set me free
So mote it be!
The light seeped in
Help me see
So mote it be!

Took many beatings
Left me bleeding
They tried to break my soul
Because I’m damaged
Who’d want my baggage
Death can only make me whole

Then God stepped in
Delivering
A love that never ends
A home to be at ease
I made amends
Found my peace

The light seeped in
Set me free
So mote it be!
Oh God stepped in
Help me see
So mote it be!

Hands around my neck
Waking to a wreck
Me bleeding on the floor
Wishing I were dead
Knowing what’s ahead
I can’t take it any more

Then light seeped in
So serene
God came to me
To help me see
Set me free
So mote it be!
