I am afraid I've let time slip away.
Do you feel betrayed now that you've turned to clay?
Things I didn't say to help you find your way.
I let you go astray, and now you've gone away.
If I had portrayed, would you have fallen prey?
Reaching out too late, gone is yesterday.
On my knees I pray, help me learn Lord from my mistakes.
Those I meet try to persuade.
No more living a pale charade.
Things I always say to help you find your way.
So when you leave this place, Jesus you will embrace!
