There were times when I questioned my reasons

Thought I wouldn't last

Seemed the hand of God held my head

Underwater

Somehow I fought back



It's still not over yet

No, it won't let me quit



Found myself more than just once

Praying down on my knees

My search for answers only led to more questions

Sometimes for faith you've got to bleed



By now I've bled my share

Now it's my turn to redeem



When it comes my way, I won't be scared

I've been waiting all my life

Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth

And the true test of time



Give all you have because you believe

Sell your mortal soul

And if you're not a predator then, oh - you better pray

Bet it all now or fold



But there's still a danger there

Don't become one of them



When it comes my way, I won't be scared

I've been waiting all my life

Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth

And the true test of time



For all I've done - some good some bad

Don't hang me just yet

Judge me not on one thing I've done

See my whole life instead



When it comes my way, I won't be scared

I've been waiting all my life

Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth

And the true test of time
