Thinking back to younger days
Memories that my mind displays
Burdened by the vices chained to me

Going through life numb from the sores
Better yet to be ignored
Just a typecast soul ashamed to be

You knew me then you loved me when
I ran away from you
My faith was dead, tears I shed
When I was lost, thought things fell through
Since time began, held in your hand
Protected by the truth
The promised land, where I'll stand
Declaring again
You knew me then, you loved me when
You knew me then, you loved me when, yeah

LookIng back to days gone by
Think and ponder wonder why
When in hindsight I could always see

I didn't need a time machine
To right the past and wipe it clean
Grace and mercy have delivered me

You knew me then you loved me when
I ran away from you
My faith was dead, tears I shed
When I was lost, thought things fell through
Since time began, held in your hand
Protected by the truth
The promised land, where I'll stand
Declaring again
You knew me then, you loved me when

You knew me then you loved me when
I ran away from you
My faith was dead, tears I shed
When I was lost, thought things fell through
Since time began, held in your hand
Protected by the truth
The promised land, where I'll stand
Declaring again
You knew me then, you loved me when
You knew me then, you loved me when, yeah
