I'm stripped down I'm raw I'm vulnerable I'm exposed I'm humbled On my knees A broken man Arms wide open Such fiery rage Such Sadness Poison rolling through me Cancer eating at my soul Looking to consume me from within Through my pain I finally see What needs to be done One last ride with my hate One last ride through hell We ride together Then it's done The poison is expunged The cancer excised I choose love I abandon hate I seek peace I seek balance I seek quiet of mind My path remains unclear The destination not final Yet I embrace hope I shed my blanket of misery Keeping me warm for so long I deny my captor Every last Morsel of my soul My broken body now forged at the breaks I rise to my feet Now the work begins I'm prepared Ready to face the path ahead The journey will be long It will be painful Yet I'll be stronger still at the end of the road One last ride with my hate Then I put it down; never to pick it up again I choose love and hope redemption lay within
