When I woke  this mornin, there were visions in my head they came to me While time stood still and I dreamt the night away.
And as  i cleared my mind to focus in,
I saw you there standing, you were happy young, and free.
I saw the things you enjoyed doing, along with the things that changed your way,
And the friends you gained were no freinds at all, 
As they led you to drinking and dugs,, then they left you standing to take the fall,
Those times were tough as you were careless and wild, while you broke the law With no cares at all,
And each time the cuffs came on as they led you away, 
Your  mamma' would stand watching with a broken heart, while she cryed and prayed. 
As  these visions went along your child hood was over, and now there you stood old and alone. 
You had children, a wife, a home,and even that was gone,
But In your hands you held a bag, and in it Was what remained of what you had Left.
I saw your struggle's, your pain, and all that was lost. And I saw your heart, and all the times it was Broke
And while you wondered through life, no one saw you for you,
They never saw, your saddnes and pain,.instrad of helping, they stood back and saw right through
And then I saw a broken heart, a child was born, and a love you had was lost.
And though you tried To repair the damage, you caused, no one had faith and your hope was gone.
Now with my visions nearing there end, all these things are like a blur, 
so as I focus in To try and see, for breif second i catch a glimpse,
and it was then that I realized those visions I dreamt, was really  the life of me....
