I know that I'm committed to change
Change is something that will take time
Time is stealing away from me
My chance to become what I should be
My chance to become
I don't have time
To gain their trust
I want to prove
They have my love
I hope my death
Will make them weep
But I fear their wounds
Have run too deep
Time is against me
They're better off without me
But before I meet my death
I will use my every breath
To tell them I was wrong
And to change who I've become
So that when I'm gone
Someone will remember me
I asked each one for their forgiveness
I acknowledged that I had failed them all
I have to mend the damage caused
But change takes longer than I thought
But change takes so long
I don't have strength
To give enough
I want to show
I'm serious
I hope my life
Is far from gone
But I fear my chance
Has been withdrawn
Time is against me
They're better off without me
But before I meet my death
I will use my every breath
To tell them I was wrong
And to change who I've become
So that when I'm gone
Someone will remember me
I'm free
I have redemption
It is in remission
And I'll make good my second chance
I'm free
I have recognition
I'm in transition
To the man I want to be
