No one ever believed in me
I didn't believe in myself
Not a word of praise ever came my way
Nothing but shaking heads and doubt
I started taking the low road
Started living just for the end
I didn't find God or Jesus
And the devil was my only friend

The tree was felled and falling
Walls caving in all around
Now I'm turning over a new leaf
Gonna take it to a higher ground

I had a wreckless disposition
So I blacked out all the sun
There was something that had control of me
I was a loaded and a smoking gun
I came in through the back door
I was biting all the helping hands
I was angry, loud and oh so proud
But now I'm ready to make a stand

The tree was felled and falling
Walls caving in all around
Now I'm turning over a new leaf
Gonna take it to a higher ground
A bad seed I was planted
But I forgot to grow
I was burnin' it down to the ground I was sinking
Surely you must know

No one ever believed in me

Walls caving in all around
