BACK IN TIME BY LOUIS WAGNER I went back in time, back in time To that boy, to that boy I used to be, used to be. On that day, on that day. That horrible day, horrible day. The day I died, day I died. It was here. He threw me over this table. I hit those cabinets. Fell to that countertop. Then hit the floor. He grabbed me And dragged me Around the table To that room And threw on that couch. He beat me there. He just hit me again and again and again. Told me I was weak. Demanded I fight him And told me I was nothing. I'd never amount to anything. I just screamed. Begged him to Stop. When his rage At this child That was so much like him was vented He sent me to my room With a dictionary To find an answer to the question That I asked. I found the answer And came down to tell him My brother, My other tormentor, Came up later. He asked me If I was alright. I said, "Yes." I lied. I was dead. When Mom came home She found my blood. She did not come to me. It's okay. I was dead. I felt a presence In my room. I was not alone. I was afraid. It was reaching out to me. I went back in time, back in time To that boy, to that boy I used to be, used to be. On that day, on that day, That horrible day, horrible day. The Day I died, day I died. Now I'm here, now I'm here On this day, on this day, This wonderful day, wonderful day. I got me back, got me back. I'm alive again, alive again. I'm alive again, alive again. Alive, alive. Alive, alive.
