They placed me in this land on a warm summers day,
They told me I was made of dirt and clay,
A small child now of this place,
One more go around in the rat race.

Three days old I went to my new home,
My path set out a babe till grown,
In the land of dreams,
Or so it seems.

My memory wiped blank for a time,
My soul on hold for their crime,
The tears filled me to the brim,
The future was looking grim.

Into a sleep I did go,
As time passed I did grow,
Till the day I seen those words again,
Asking where have you been while you were asleep in sin.

Memories unleashed like wild birds,
When I heard him repeat those words,
The dawn did break and came a new day,
As nighttime fell shadows came my way.

Shadows of a past long forgotten,
I’d grown up sour and rotten,
But time they say mends all wounds,
And I have no doubt HE is coming soon.

No place to run or to hide,
On wings of a dove I do glide,
You’ve been told and you’ve been warned,
No longer shall HE see loved ones scorned.

When I was a child I knew it all
When I was a child I took a fall
When I was a child I was raped
When I was a child I saw them caped
When I was a child I talked to voices
When I was a child I made life’s choices
When I was a child I cried on bended knee
When I was a child I tried to flee
When I was a child I took a big leap
When I was a child they put me to sleep
When I was a child I judged them all
When I was a child I followed my call
When I was a child I cried till I had no more tears
When I was a child they made me forget all my fears
Now that I’m an adult I know who’s at fault
Now that I’m an adult I remember who started the assault
Now that I’m an adult I remembered I was raped
Now that I’m an adult I’ve found the caped
Now that I’m an adult the voices are too
Now that I’m an adult I realize I live in a zoo
Now that I’m an adult I try even more
Now that I’m an adult I’m not keeping score
Now that I’m an adult I found the one
Now that I’m an adult I realize our time has come
Now that I’m an adult I cry over the pain felt once again
Now that I’m an adult I smile as I know God will win
