WE LEARN SOULS BURN

AS I SIT BEHIND THESE PRISON WALLS
SO MANY STORIES GO UNTOLD
SO MANY SOULS HAVE BAD FALLS
SO MANY OF US TRY TO BE BOLD

SO MUCH ABOUT LIFE WE NEED TO LEARN
HOW WE ALL NEED TO BE SAVED
OR IN HELL OUR SOULS SHALL BURN
FOR THE ROAD TO HEAVEN IS NOT PAVED

ONE OF THESE SOULS I'M TOLD IS MINE
SO IN GOD I SEEK HIS LOVE
WHILE I STILL HAVE THE TIME
AS IT COMES FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE

SO LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY
AND A NEW LIFE WE WILL START
IF WE ASK GOD ON THIS DAY
HE'LL BE GLAD TO DO HIS PART

SO TONIGHT I WILL GET DOWN ON MY KNEES AND PRAY
AND ASK THE LORD ABOVE
TO SAVE MY SOUL ON THIS DAY
AND PLEASE SEND ME HIS LOVE
