The Truth

They called you a failure
They called you a lost cause
They said you would never become anything at all
A generation
With no direction
But when I look in your eyes I see the prize yet to be claimed
I’ll say it once, I’ll say it twice that your life was worth the price payed
for you, payed for me and I believe in you and I know you’ll find the truth
I know you’ve been broken
'cause I’ve seen the abuse
I know there’s a place inside your heart begging for truth
For a softspoken answer
That won’t break your spirit
But when I look in your eyes I see the prize that’s yet to be claimed
I’ll say it once, I’ll say it twice that your life was worth the price payed
for you, payed for me and I believe in you and I know you’ll find the truth
But that’s not what they told you when they said that they gave all for you and
you’re nothing and you’ll never be anything
I’ll wait for the day when you stand up and say I can do all things through him
who strengthens me
I’ll say it once, I’ll say it twice that your life was worth the price payed
for you, payed for me and I believe in you. yes I believe in you and I know
you’ll find the truth
