Graced or Damned

The morning sun is shining through A pale light meets my eyes Through the window I can see The darkness slowly die Waking up to a ray of light Another day is here Trapped inside this void The end is finally drawing near I could have lived my life so differently I could have walked another path I could have corrected my wrongs If I just could get another chance All alone I will die, what I lived was a lie All I've done is forever gone When I finally go, what will the afterlifе show? Will I be graced or damned? For thе first time I will see The consequence of greed Craving more and never thinking Of what I truly need Will I awake as a newborn mind? Forgiven and at peace Or with echoes of emotions Of what I could have been I Would have lived my life so differently I Would have walked another past I Would have corrected my wrongs If I just could get another chance All alone I will die, what I lived was a lie All I've done is forever gone When I finally go, what will the afterlife show? Will I be graced or damned?
