FORMALLY KNOWN AS
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
FORMERLY KNOWN AS...
Once I lived a life of dreams
Lost my will, as crazy as it seems
All dreams shatter, it doesn't matter
We are all as crazy as the Hatter
I'm formerly known as...
....The Dreamer
Once love I did pursue
All my heart I yearned for you
Heart broken, a forgotten token
My heart is smoldering, smokin'
I'm formerly known as...
...The Lover
Once I fought a raging war
Guns blazing, Hell like never before
Bullets fly, soldiers cry
All you can do is die
I'm formerly known as...
...The Soldier
Once I was dazed and confused
Beaten by life, I'm abused
All is lost, can't bear the cost
Found new life in the Cross
I'm formerly known as...
...The Sinner
Can't change where I've been, choose where I go
No longer any of those forgotten ones I know
Lord show me to the assembled throng
Annoint me Lord and make me strong...
Now I live a life anew
Lord I trust alone in you
Past is done, a brand new one
I'm standing in God's Son
I'm formally known as...
...The Saint
AMEN
