[ti:My Story] [ar:B.Reith] [al:Now Is Not Forever] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]My Story (我的故事) - B.Reith [00:09.77]My story is a simple one to tell [00:12.09]Popped out my momma's tummy 26th of January winter up in Milwaukee [00:15.40]Twenty minutes later peein' on the doctor's shirt [00:18.59]Pops makin' jokes sayin' Look doc it works! [00:21.15]So the tell me anyways, I can't remember anything before pre-K [00:25.15]It's all blurred together and each day my memory fades like worn leather [00:28.77]But what I can recall is sweeter than warm weather with a cool breeze [00:32.46]Saturdays were heaven, wake up watch cartoons from 7 straight to 11 [00:36.52]Then it's outside to play whatever sport was in season [00:39.53]My cousins they were older so that made me the weak one [00:42.15]But it didn't stop me, all we did was play we made up our own games [00:45.52]Rolled up socks and faked like [00:47.40]They were hand grenades makin' forts out of couches [00:49.59]Mom would come home mad at how messed up the house was [00:52.46]I stayed out of trouble most of the time [00:54.96]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 [01:00.23]Still I fully know I didn't make it this far on my own [01:02.97]There is no way to count all of the mistakes I have made [01:07.66]And I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Your grace [01:12.79]And you're still here with me, You never gave up after all this time [01:18.22]And I owe it all to You, You're the one that got me through [01:23.10]You wrote my story [01:23.82]Looking back on high school I see how foolish that I really was [01:27.32]I thought I was the coolest dude there ever was [01:30.38]'Til I went off to college and learned nobody there even knew who I was [01:33.95]It all taught me that I fall short [01:35.82]Like junior year when they cut me even though I left it all on the court [01:39.44]I had to learn how to fail and to fall [01:41.21]So I could learn how to get up shake the dust off walk and stand tall [01:44.09]Learn how to call on the one who's been there through it all [01:47.16]I remember when I got the phone call [01:49.16]Freshman year in Virginia, my grandfather passed away [01:50.97] [01:52.08]Eight years after my grandmother guess he couldn't wait [01:54.95]To see her on the other side at the funeral I cried [01:57.51]So hard I never knew I'd hurt that bad inside [01:59.69]But over time wounds heal and all that's remembered [02:02.25]Is the love that we shared while together forever [02:05.83]There is no way to count all of the mistakes I have made [02:10.29]And I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Your grace [02:15.34]And you're still here with me, You never gave up after all this time [02:20.84]And I owe it all to You, You're the one that got me through [02:25.72]You wrote my story [02:28.53] [02:37.41]This is my story and I wouldn't change a thing [02:39.53]I was put here for a purpose this was written by a King [02:41.97]Was carefully designed, hand-crafted and made [02:44.47]By the One who's never made a mistake [02:46.47]I want to give all it takes from here on out to make up for lost time [02:49.78]But what's done is done and I can't press rewind [02:52.41]And all of my regrets are chasin' me from behind [02:55.04]But the future's unwritten I'm racin' towards the finish line [02:57.60]So from here on out everyday counts [03:00.23]I know Your grace meets me no matter what the amount [03:02.34]Despite that I'm hard-hearted, You gave me a clean slate [03:05.47]And promised that You'd finish what you've started [03:07.47]And even though a four minute long song can barely scratch the surface [03:10.41]It's sure enough to show I'm far from perfect [03:12.72]So thank You for the past, help me live in the present [03:15.16]To prepare me for the future 'til my story ends
