Saints and Sinners

An original song. I wrote the lyrics and my friend on the guitar helped me with the music.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
There's more to life than heartbreak
Shattered dreams can mend
Holding on the fear and failures
Leaves nothing in the end

So pick up the pieces
That are left of your heart
Wipe away your tears, child
Get up and make a start

Chorus:
Cause saints aren't born of the angels
A sinner can still be redeemed
Life is a path lost behind you
But the future is still yours to lead

Verse 2:
Forget about your mistakes
Leave them on the floor
Wash away the bloodstains
And stagger out the door

The road at your feet now
Leads far from where you are
So leave your ghosts behind you
And take off for the stars

-Chorus-

Bridge:
Now look at you standing there
A smile on your face
Basking in the wonder
Of God's amazing grace

Never knew that life
Could ever be this way
Scars of your old heart break
Grow fainter every day

-Chorus-

Thank you so much. :)

A bit more...well, optimistic than the music I generally listen to, but all the same, well done. I subscribed after I saw your cover of Stand My Ground, and just now looked at this song. Again, you did very well. You have a great voice.
