“No backsliding allowed”
“No backsliding allowed”
By Roger Fontaine June07
As I look back over the fateful years
To the time of a life-giving choice
It chokes me up but I release the tears
And from my soul I find my voice;
Chorus:
I know that love’s the key and I feel it’s healing grace
I changed my past into a life that I could wear with pride,
Gently with courageous strokes I painted a truer face
And I know it’s here to stay, no backsliding allowed (bis)
Verse:
At first it was impossible but with courage it appeared
Quickly life began to grow and took away my fears
At first I couldn’t take a step without somebody’s help
But as I built self-love I learned to trust the voice within;
(Chorus)
I stand to fight the enemy for old habits never die
The man which once dragged me down has since been laid to rest
The ways of old were given me and I chose to set them free
Not on my sons’ or daughters’ lives will violence succeed
(Chorus)
