I was told that heaven's never too far gone I was told my soul was meant to sing a song But as I tarried through life I learned that that was not quite so Through right and wrong and perpetual sin Forever bound to struggle from within Was I sold a lie? Because if heaven are these people Then I don't want to sing their song But grace, how sweet it sounds Claimed and loved for nothing Redeemed, was lost now found Can I hope? Can I change? Can I erase a past that has caused so much pain? Wash it clean, white as snow Surely there's hell to pay, but I'll never be the same I was told that heaven's streets were paved with gold I was told that I would never walk alone But my hands and feet are bloodied And no one wants a sinner's lot If man cannot forgive what I have done And man was made from who is up above Then why give us a choicce? You know that I will lose control But grace, it holds my hand And tells me I am worthy to love And not hold back Can I hope? Can I change? Can I erase a past that has caused so much pain? Wash it clean, white as snow Surely there's hell to pay, but I'll never Can you love? Can you change? Can you erase a past that has caused so much pain? Wash it clean, white as snow Surely there's hell to pay, in this cage I won't stay 'Fore my soul's cast away, and I'll never be the same
