I’ve done time but I paid my crime
I stole hearts an’ I made some cry
I fought fights then turned my wrongs to right
I’ve done time and that was time enough for me
I’ve crossed lines, an’ I’ve crossed paths
Took wrong roads, an’ I never turned back
They imprisoned me for a life excess
I’ve done time but returned now from retreat
I lost my sight, I lost my mind
I lost days I can’t retrieve
I lost hope an’ I lost will
I lost love an’ I regret it still
I lived high, like a king
I did things that you could not believe
I was a prince, but of thieves
And prayed upon those most in need
Imagine now, if you can, how I have changed into a proper man
I can’t imagine how you, now see me
You can’t imagine who I want to be
I’ve done time but I've paid my crime
I stole hearts an’ I made some cry
I fought fights then turned my wrongs to right
I’ve done time an’ that was time enough for me
I’ve done time an' returned now from retreat
I’ve done time an’ now it’s time to take flight indeed
