(Kevin Russell) Its true I am wicked, its true I am mean I must a lost my way chasing a dream Its true I done things that im ashamed of But I still need tenderness and the warmth of love Ive come clean and Im redeemed Since I have see through the eyes of a child Its true I am guilty, reputation is stained I stood up and admitted to my grief and my shame But I believe that a soul can right its wrongs And in the sweet ascension of a redemption song Sin it seems to win 10 times out of 9 Forgiveness is not so deliberate And it takes and awful long time Maybe the punishment dont fit the crime But judgement will come with the pa**ing of time But I believe that a soul can right its wrongs And in the sweet ascension of a redemption song
