Eyes Of A Child Lyrics

It's true I am wicked, it's true I am mean
I must a lost my way chasing a dream
It's true I done things that i'm ashamed of
But I still need tenderness and the warmth of love

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e63257-the_gourds~eyes_of_a_child_lyrics.html ]
I've come clean and I'm redeemed
since I have see through the eyes of a child

It's true I am guilty, reputation is stained
I stood up and admitted to my grief and my shame
But I believe that a soul can right its wrongs
and in the sweet ascension of a redemption song

Sin it seems to win 10 times out of 9
Forgiveness is not so deliberate
and it takes and awful long time

maybe the punishment dont fit the crime
but judgement will come with the passing of time
But I believe that a soul can right its wrongs
and in the sweet ascension of a redemption song
