Redemption



Looking for my future
And back at where I've been
Going down to the river
To try and wash away my sins.

Walk out into the water
Out very deep
Sinking down to the bottom
To the bottom to go to sleep.

Feel the water wash over me
As I try to take a breath in
Drowning in the water
Washing away my sins.

Can't find my future
I look but cannot see
Letting go of life
As darkness washes over me.
