๐ Lyrics
After the ashes blew away in the wind
That's when the Lord grabbed me and made me His
We all had nicknames we tag 'em up on freight trains
Those same tracks is where we shared laughs
Rockin' baggy grays and blacks
Invisible mics were smashed
Drinkin' forties, pourin' out half for cats that passed
That number's doubled tripled since then
Death will come and cripple your fam
You try to hold on time will slip through your hands
Probation officers, boot camps and house arrest
These things made us grow up too fast, they put hair on our chest
Through the dark, I can feel You're light
Through the fire I am refined
Out of the darkness and into the light
You pick me up from the dirt you gave this blind man sight
Out of the darkness and into the light
And when I think of the past don't want to go back just hold me tight Lord
Rockin' pagers in Tommy jeans with the loop
Our older brothers taught us how to fight but we just pull out and shoot
As time went on we all drifted apart and I left
When I came back and tried to find 'em they're gone
Where'd everybody go, I'm walkin' the streets alone
I seen some cats I used to know but now they're skin and bones
Then I seen our old staircase and I had a vision
Of us sittin' and spittin' wishin' our life was different
We were just kids our parents didn't tell us nothin'
It wasn't planned we didn't know what we were becoming
It's a shame we didn't go to birthday parties and such
Or get encouragement from a love note found in our lunch
But I wouldn't change a thing, not even a inch
'Cause that's where the Lord grabbed me and made me His
As I was walkin' You were holding my hand and I'm thankful
But I still think of the dreams that vanished right out of the window
Through the dark, I can feel You're light
Through the fire I am refined
Out of the darkness and into the light
You pick me up from the dirt you gave this blind man sight
Out of the darkness and into the light
And when I think of the past don't want to go back just hold me tight Lord
With all these words written all I got to say is this
They'll come a time where you sit down and reminisce
Thinkin' of all the friends that never even made it out
Don't let regret and grief surround you like a dark cloud
There's a God in heaven that loves you right there where you are
So don't try to change yourself or try to hide your scars
Just be proud to tell your story it's something no one can take
And stand strong unless you're praying fall flat on your face
After the ashes blew away in the wind
That's when the Lord grabbed me and made me His
That's when the Lord grabbed me and made me His
We all had nicknames we tag 'em up on freight trains
Those same tracks is where we shared laughs
Rockin' baggy grays and blacks
Invisible mics were smashed
Drinkin' forties, pourin' out half for cats that passed
That number's doubled tripled since then

You try to hold on time will slip through your hands
