Stolen Away

Verse 1

Stray

Battered by the rain

Kicked across the curb by a heavy boot

Hard

Cold concrete pillow

Nobody looked down when I was screaming out

Empty

Empty bowl

Empty room

Wasted youth went to the wolves early

Chorus

Stolen before I could hold it

Stolen before I could see

Everything I was supposed to be

Gone

It's just gone

Stolen before I could hold it

The devil took the better part of me

Drop

Stolen away

Stolen away

Verse 2

Steel

Steel bars

Steel chains

Iron gates swinging shut on my potential

Lost

I lost the thread

I lost the light

Broken bones heal but the spirit stays jagged

Scars

Deep in the marrow

Down in the blood

Nothing grows in a field full of salt

Chorus

Stolen before I could hold it

Stolen before I could see

Everything I was supposed to be

Gone

It's just gone

Stolen before I could hold it

The devil took the better part of me

Drop

Stolen away

Stolen away

Bridge

Destined for the height

Destined for the crown

Destined for the light

But they dragged me down

I was meant for more

I was meant for more

I was meant for more

Chorus

Stolen before I could hold it

Stolen before I could see

Everything I was supposed to be

Gone

It's just gone

Stolen before I could hold it

The devil took the better part of me

Drop

Stolen away

Stolen away

Stolen away

Stolen away
