[00:01.12]B.Reith - My Story
[00:02.57]
[00:04.07] @ 活在當下 制作
[00:08.82]
[00:09.95]My story is a simple one to tell
[00:12.13]Popped out my momma's tummy 26th of January winter up in Milwaukee
[00:15.94]Twenty minutes later peein' on the doctor's shirt
[00:18.62]Pops makin' jokes sayin' "Look doc it works!"
[00:21.31]So the tell me anyways, I can't remember anything before pre-K
[00:25.17]It's all blurred together and each day my memory fades like worn leather
[00:29.04]But what I can recall is sweeter than warm weather with a cool breeze
[00:32.85]Saturdays were heaven, wake up watch cartoons from 7 straight to 11
[00:36.72]Then it's outside to play whatever sport was in season
[00:39.44]My cousins they were older so that made me the weak one
[00:42.25]But it didn't stop me, all we did was play we made up our own games
[00:45.94]Rolled up socks and faked like 
[00:47.81]they were hand grenades makin' forts out of couches
[00:50.12]Mom would come home mad at how messed up the house was
[00:52.95]I stayed out of trouble most of the time
[00:54.88]But when I got out of line Pops would smack my behind
[00:57.60]The wonder years are over now somehow I'm fully grown
[01:00.28]Still I fully know I didn't make it this far on my own
[02:05.47][01:02.80]
[02:05.81][01:03.15]There is no way to count all of the mistakes I have made
[02:10.57][01:07.79]And I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Your grace
[02:15.59][01:12.93]And you're still here with me, You never gave up after all this time
[02:21.32][01:18.44]And I owe it all to You, You're the one that got me through
[02:25.77][01:23.14]You wrote my story
[01:24.02]
[01:24.26]Looking back on high school I see how foolish that I really was
[01:27.52]I thought I was the coolest dude there ever was
[01:30.36]'Til I went off to college and learned nobody there even knew who I was
[01:34.14]It all taught me that I fall short
[01:35.78]Like junior year when they cut me even though I left it all on the court
[01:39.32]I had to learn how to fail and to fall
[01:40.82]So I could learn how to get up shake the dust off walk and stand tall
[01:44.66]Learn how to call on the one who's been there through it all
[01:47.20]I remember when I got the phone call
[01:49.16]Freshman year in Virginia, my grandfather passed away
[01:52.19]Eight years after my grandmother guess he couldn't wait
[01:54.97]To see her on the other side at the funeral I cried
[01:57.63]So hard I never knew I'd hurt that bad inside
[02:00.13]But over time wounds heal and all that's remembered
[02:03.01]Is the love that we shared while together forever
[02:27.93]
[02:37.45]This is my story and I wouldn't change a thing
[02:39.17]I was put here for a purpose this was written by a King
[02:42.05]Was carefully designed, hand-crafted and made
[02:44.57]By the One who's never made a mistake
[02:46.38]I want to give all it takes from here on out to make up for lost time
[02:49.93]But what's done is done and I can't press rewind
[02:52.48]And all of my regrets are chasin' me from behind
[02:55.02]But the future's unwritten I'm racin' towards the finish line
[02:57.67]So from here on out everyday counts
[03:00.29]I know Your grace meets me no matter what the amount
[03:02.98]Despite that I'm hard-hearted, You gave me a clean slate
[03:05.48]And promised that You'd finish what you've started
[03:08.37]And even though a four minute long song can barely scratch the surface
[03:10.94]It's sure enough to show I'm far from perfect
[03:12.95]So thank You for the past, help me live in the present
[03:14.94]To prepare me for the future 'til my story ends
