Bad Seed

No one ever believed in me

I didn’t believe in myself

Not a word of praise ever came my way

Nothing but shaking heads and doubt

I started taking the low road

Started living just for the end

I didn’t find God or Jesus

And the devil was my only friend

The tree was felled and falling

Walls caving in all around

Now I’m turning over a new leaf

Gonna take it to a higher ground

I had a reckless disposition

So I blacked out all the sun

There was something that had control of me

I was a loaded and a smoking gun

I came in through the back door

I was biting all the helping hands

I was angry, loud and oh so proud

But now I’m ready to make a stand

The tree was felled and falling

Walls caving in all around

Now I’m turning over a new leaf

Gonna take it to a higher ground

A bad seed I was planted

But I forgot to grow

I was burnin’ it down to the ground I was sinking

Surely you must know

No one ever believed in me

I didn’t believe in myself

Not a word of praise ever came my way

Nothing but shaking heads and doubt

I started taking the low road

Started living just for the end

I didn’t find God or Jesus

And the devil was my only friend

The tree was felled and falling

Walls caving in all around

Now I’m turning over a new leaf

Gonna take it to a higher ground

A bad seed I was planted

But I forgot to grow

I was burnin’ it down to the ground I was sinking

Surely you must know
