98 Lyrics - Clay Crosse

Come on and gather round and listen to my story 

About a fall from grace 

A change of heart a rise to glory 

A lesson learned, a doorway I went through 

Now all I know is I was born to lead and not to follow 

But the places that I led turned out to be so hollow 

And in the end I just turned out to be a fool 

Justification would make me shine 

My performance a work of art 

All I ever wanted was to walk that line 

But I jumped across and broke Your heart 

For all I've learned the days I lived it were so rare 

The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where 

And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there 

And You never left me, no You never left me 

These scars I have, I know they are here to remind me 

That everything I've said and done I can leave far behind me 

The door is shut and I shall never more return 

Everybody says that Your childhood dies 

A little bit more every day 

But all around me are mercy's eyes 

And they'll keep me close to You I pray 

For all I've learned the days I lived it were so rare 

The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where 

And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there 

And You never left me, no You never left me 

You know I came to love You as a young man many years ago 

But now You've brought me out of harm 

And I feel just like a baby in Your arms 

For all I've learned the days I lived it were so rare 

The dust of innocence I scattered who knows where 

And when I turned my back on You, You stood right there 

And You never left me, no You never left me 

You never never never, no You never left me
