I saw him just once when I was around the age of seven
His eyes showed a soul who marched through Hell searching for Heaven
All across his body were etched ancient symbols of power
Yet when I looked beyond the surface I saw a spirit as gentle as a flower
He smiled at me and said, "I see that it is living life that you most fear
So I came to you to share my path hoping to make things become clear
See, for so long I felt my soul was being battered and torn
I hated the world and myself especially for ever being born
My heart and soul’s outlook was that I had no real purpose in my life
So I made it my purpose to share with all my misery and strife
I have stolen from my family and often scr*wed over a 'friend'
All while pouring drugs and hatred into my body trying to make it all end
I allowed my revolution against living life to put me in a prison cell
While my denial of God's Truth had my Spirit spirally through Hell
For too many long years I wandered down Satan's darkened road
Burdened by a lifetime of angry memories was my spirit’s heavy load
When I at last hit bottom I finally decided to seek the God I had long denied
Heaven's reply was of such Love and Peace that I simply broke down and cried
I asked the Creator how I could ever find forgiveness for all my sin
And was told the path to forgiveness, Love and Peace are all found within"
It wasn't until years later that I realized who the stranger had to be
It wasn't until I had lived his life that I was able to set myself free
