NOT FORSAKEN

Running blindly through the trees

Roots reaching for his feet

He stumbles for the final time

Pursuit will cease right here

Relieved the end is near

Oh Judges...Hear his cries...

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The forest walls echo with his screams

Am I not your Son

Why have you forsaken me

You've told everyone it's evil

Immoral and a shame

So why...

Why...

Why'd you make me this way

~~*~~

Oh...He was born this way

It's not a choice he made

Would he torment his own mind...

No way to contemplate

This twisted brand of fate

It's not something that dilutes with time

If there was any way

Then he would fight to change

Plans escape through suicide

Wonders who will weep

Freak of society

Even God's not on his side

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The forest walls echo with his screams

Am I not your Son

Why have you forsaken me

You've told everyone it's evil

Immoral and a shame

So why...

Why...

Why'd you make me this way

~~*~~

They heard the strangled cries

Surrendering his life

Burst through the trees to intervene

Saw them through shame and tears

Why did they interfere

He despised himself so viciously

Oh judges...Can't you see...

Confessing in the woods
He'd always be no good
Didn't know where he'd end up

But nothing could be worse
Than living with this curse
Let me go I've had enough

They said don't take your life
Before you've even lived
There are souls who suffer this same fate

Some try to judge you now
They shun, and cast you out
Those believers all filled with hate

Just take it day by day
And you will find your way
It's not true that God's forsaken you

He made you just this way
Get past the fear and hate
Build your life with someone searching too

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~
The forest walls echo with relief
Yes I am your Son
You have not forsaken me
There's no evil in my love
I will not bear their shame
I will
Will
Find the faith to live again
~~*~~

For Brandon, Kenneth, 
Corey, Jack,Rafael, Eric, David, 
and so many young men 
who didn't have anyone intervene...  
So sorry for the hell you endured on earth...
My Prayers...
