Simon Hirst - Redemption [Alternative Version]

A bonus track that comes with the release of the 'Lying on the Floor' single.
During the recording of my last EP, 'How Far Away Home Is', I recorded a short guitar solo on a track named 'Redemption'. It was kept in the mix right up until it was time for mastering, and I asked Scott to master versions of the song with, and without, the solo in it. When I got the masters back I decided that, as much as I liked the solo, I felt the EP worked better with the version without it.
But I decided to release it along with this latest single so people can hear how it subtly changed the bridge section of the song!
Lyrics:
Lord forgive my lying words
I got a heart made of stone
And murder in my hands
But there's fire
Burning in my soul
There's fire in my bones
To become a better man
Lord teach me to love again
These sinners hands are bare
And all I have is lost
But there's a fire
Burning in my soul
There's a fire in my bones
To become a better man
I feel it all around
My heart begins to break
My knees on the ground
Redemption on its way
Redemption on its way
Yeah
Yeah
Lord teach me to love again
There's a fire in my bones
To become a better man
