When I was young
I needed it
When I was young
I'd feed on it

And that was my fault to not know how far down the hole I have fallen
It was all right with me

Now that I'm old
I breathe for it
Now that I'm old
I sing for it

And, oh holy ghost, how have I wandered so far from my home
Atonement so clean, replenishing me

And this is the day
I die for it
And I will rejoice
And be glad in it

And now I am shown the treacherous pains to become something whole
Redemption that's freed the burden from me
Redemption so free discovering me
