A soul that's been abused

I gave my heart like a prayer in the dark Hoping you'd catch it, keep it from falling apart But you held it like a weight you couldn't bear, left me crying to a God I wasn't sure was there Years gone by and I still feel that sting Love ain't a song when it don't mean a thing I gave you truth, you gave me pain,. Now I'm walking through fire Soaking in the rain I'm just a soul, that's been abused Used and torn, and left confused Still I rise, though I'm bruised Oh Lord... I got nothing left to lose I'm just a soul that's been abused Mama warned me about the games folks play But I had to learn the hardest way Now every mirror shows a man I don't know Tired eyes but a heart that won't let go I'm just a soul that's been abused Broken down and misused But I still sing, I still choose To wear these scars, like worn out shoes I'm just a soul, that's been abused But love, It's a long hard road When you're carrying the weight, of what you never chose I still believe Though I don't know why Maybe hope's the last thing to die I'm just a soul that's been abused But I'm still here Yeah, I still move
