PAST AND PRESENT
YOU GAVE ME LOVE
I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH
YOU GAVE ME STRENTH
TO HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY
I WAS YOUNG AND IMMATURE
IN EVERY WAY
I COULDN'T SEE
COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
THE POWER
THAT I HAD I MY HAND
THE POWER OF BEING LOVED
AND TRUSTED SO DEAR
I DIDN'T APPRECIATE IT
AND IT DISSAPPEARED
I LOOK BACK
AND THINK OF WHAT I DID
I CAN'T BLAME NO ONE FOR MY MISTAKES
ON BEING A KID
WHEN I LOOK BACK
TO SEE WHAT I DONE WRONG
THE FACES THE MEMORIES
KEEP ME GOING ALONG
NOW THAT I AM A MAN
I HAVE NO EXCUSES
BUT TO BE A BETTER MAN
AND APPRECIATE THE LOVE I ABUSED
YOU WILL ONLY SEE YOUR MISTAKES
AS YOU GROW AND MATURE
HOW TO LOVE AND BE LOVED
UNTIL YOUR HEART ENDURES
I WILL TEACH MY SON
AND HOPE HE WILL SEE
THE PAIN I CAUSED
I MUST SET FREE
LISTEN MY LADIES
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND
I DID WRONG THINGS TO YOU
THINKING I WAS MAN
I WOKE UP
AND SAW WHAT I HAD DONE
I CAN'T UNDO THE PAST
MY NEW LIFE HAS BEGUN
