Back into the light

[Intro]
I’ve been down and it’s time to get up
This old road I’ve been on is worn and rough
This devil has had me down long enough
His chain can’t hold me anymore 

The devil sunk his hooks into a young boy 
Innocent and stupid I took the bait 
And by the time I knew any better it was to late
I’ve been fighting these demons ever since 
So much time has past in darkness it’s hard to make since

My soul morns for things I’m not sure of
My emotion almost completely numb 
My family must think I’m dumb, or at least that what my mind tells me 
Because how could they think anything more
Of my mess of a life that I lay at there door.

These demons have taken me places 
Places one never sees there self
Places with people who seem to be fighting the same demons 
People who have lost there light and are stuck in the dark with no rhyme or reason
Places like prison cells, waiting on time, counting of days on the wall, one line by line, day by day,
Prison cells are not a place I ever thought I’d stay.
And even after all that, the demon still sits on your back always on the attack.

I can see how one would fold, give up, just let go and Forfeit there soul.
But not me I’m sick of the demons the devil has put on me. 
I drop to my knees and ask the lord please do this with me.
I can’t do it alone not just all on my own! 
I need your Holy Spirit lord.
Let me know you hear it lord.

With the light back again, even though it’s dim.
I can see. It’s blurry but the demons I can see and  what there doing to me. With every step I make and every turn I take. The light gets a little brighter the demons I notice a lot less. My emotions coming back sometime flooding me full of feelings.
To much for me to deal with
But my Holy Spirit will feel it and we get through 
And with the help from the lord there is nothing I can’t do! 
My road has started to level out and I realize that love is what it is all about.
So my demons most likely will always be lurking around in the dark. 
But with the lord by my side and my family along for the ride 
The devil can only sit back and try to plan his next attack.
While I continue to brighten my light
