Pictures hanging on the wall Some of them I can't recall They're here to remind me of the past that I had Sometimes I wish I could go back My story became history I don't wonder if this was meant to be I was a victor, but now it's victory I'm reminded by all of these memories All these memories All these memories The good, the bad, and the ugly Made me to the man that I am The love was it took from me Let me know that I can still stand Even when the sand's sinking around Hold my head up when I'm going down Down, I'm feeling sad I used my memories to bring them back My story became history I don't wonder if this was meant to be I was a victor, but now it's victory I'm reminded by all of these memories All these memories All these memories Looking back sometimes I'm surprised I escaped it Hard work and a prayer is the only way I made it All these mountains I had to climb Just to survive Took a while to find out I was traumatized It should have been the death of me But now it's just a memory All these memories All these memories
