Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Late at night
When I'd lie in my bed
There was always a thought
Going through my head

I thought why do I live?
And what is right?
When in the end
I'll never see the light

My views of religion
I never wished to tell
I didn't believe in anything
Not even heaven or hell

There was no higher being
That deserved to be praised
And these views I blame
On the way I was raised

Everyday righteousness
Is for what I strived
But church was never a place
I believed I would thrive

I was a good person
Each and every day
But when it came to religion
I had nothing to say

I never lived that way
To gain acclamation
And I didn't even believe in
Eternal damnation

Those were the times
When I just wanted to leave
And I had no reason
To even try to believe

But there was a girl
And she has changed me
For once I was blind
But now I can see

Because of her
I wanted to listen
I changed from Atheist
Straight into Christian

To be in that relationship
I gave Christianity a whirl
But it became more to me
Than just impressing some girl

I may not know everything
But I can trust what I feel
She has showed me God's power
And I know that it's real

Before I met her
My life was a mess
Now to rid my sins
I have to confess

Now there is a reason
For this life that I've lived
I have to forget what I've done
And hope I'll be forgived

With these beliefs
I have new ambition
And I can gladly say
I've made my transition

I'm on a new path
With a different desire
And hopefully now
I'll never feel the fire
