Sin - A Better Man Lyrics

They said boy, you sure got potential
I said yeah I guess, I know
They said boy, don't waste your potential
I said, "Oh yeah, I guess, I won't
Then I let the days go by
Let the years go by
Til the words became an echo gnawing on my mind
And I, couldn't take it anymore
Oh knew I had to change
Couldn't leave my life this way
Asking if I died today
Could I say I gave everything
There I was
Sprouting up
Under the river of a thousand suns
Through my pain
I learned love
And what it takes
To become
A better man
Here I stand
A better man
A better man

I'm not afraid
Bring the storm I'll stand the rain
Find another risk to take
Nothing to lose with all to gain
In the darkness lied the key
Made amends and set it free
Amplify my energy
Emanate serenity
And through these ups and downs
So much strength I've found
The countless times I've picked myself up off of the ground
Up outta that pit, up outta that hell
To reach the point where I can say that I have prevailed
They said don't waste that potential
I say no I never meant to
Tryna figure out where I wanna sail
But I cannot fail, no
We only live fearless
We live through the fear

There I was
Sprouting up
Under the river of a thousand suns
Through my pain
I learned love
And what it takes
To become
A better man
Here I stand
A better man
A better man
And life is truly just an endless metamorphosis
A butterfly who thought he ever left the chrysalis, yeah
What a fool I was
But I love that fool look who we've become
Here I stand
A better man
A better man
