Looking back upon my life I'm very thankful

That your arm is not too short to rescue

And deliver me

Take my hand and lead me out and through

Through the waters of the Red Sea

through the blood and the death of the enemy

While a new foe rages

And holds up an image of a man that I used to be



Throwing up my insides out

On my knees before the throne

Staring in the porcelain dome

That flushes away all the high of last night's waste

And I will never forget the bad taste

That was left inside my mouth

Of when she left when I cried, when I died, no I ain't going

Ain't goin' back again!

Ain't goin' back again!



Once I wasted, now I've tasted

A better life

More than I've ever known

Once I wasted, now I've tasted

A better life

More than I've ever known

Once I hated, now embraced it

A better life

More than I've known



And I'm glad that the past is gone,



that I'm never gonna be alone

Cause I found true love

Even though that my number three finger is empty

And there's nothing I'd give in exchange

For a love that strange

From when she left when I cried when I died,

no ain't going back again!

Ain't going back agan!



Once I wasted, now I've tasted

A better life

More than I've ever known

Once I wasted, now I've tasted

A better life

More than I've ever known

Once I hated, now embraced it

A better life

More than I've known



More than I've known

Once I wasted, now I've tasted

A better life

More than I've ever known

Once I hated, now embraced it

A better life

More than I've known
