Rita Pam Tarachi - These Days Lyrics

You say I brought you pain and discomfort
But turn around to say I brought you joy and pride
You say I brought you bad reputation
But you say I've made you proud each time I excel
You say I ought to be in the jungle
But you forget that's where I'm from
This pain has made me stronger

These days I'm spending time at church
I spoke to God, He didn't
Repeat what you said He thought of me
Perhaps there was a mistake somewhere
But certainly not on God's part

You say you didn't mean the words you said
But you repeat the same mistakes
Which am I to believe?
You say your anger is justified
But the physical and mental scars are telling me another thing
As your child, all I felt was emptiness and fear
But I love you all the same
And I forgive it all

These days I'm spending time at church
I spoke to God, He didn't
Repeat what you said He thought of me
Perhaps there was a mistake somewhere
But certainly not on God's part
