I know that I'm committed to change Change is something that will take time Time is stealing away from me My chance to become what I should be My chance to become I don't have time To gain their trust I want to prove They have my love I hope my death Will make them weep But I fear their wounds Have run too deep Time is against me They're better off without me But before I meet my death I will use my every breath To tell them I was wrong And to change who I've become So that when I'm gone Someone will remember me I asked each one for their forgiveness I acknowledged that I had failed them all I have to mend the damage caused But change takes longer than I thought But change takes so long I don't have strength To give enough I want to show I'm serious I hope my life Is far from gone But I fear my chance Has been withdrawn Time is against me They're better off without me But before I meet my death I will use my every breath To tell them I was wrong And to change who I've become So that when I'm gone Someone will remember me I'm free I have redemption It is in remission And I'll make good my second chance I'm free I have recognition I'm in transition To the man I want to be
