[Verse 1]
First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That looked at me took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heart ache from the pain
Take up my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
[Chorus]
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
[Verse 2]
Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and it rained down
It rained down, like...
[Chorus]
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
[Bridge]
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and it rained down
It rained down, like...
[Chorus]
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my god, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, belbeliever

1. “The Bogey Beast” by Flora Annie Steel
Reading Level: Very Easy
A woman finds a pot of treasure on the road while she is returning from work. Delighted with her luck, she decides to keep it. As she is taking it home, it keeps changing. However, her enthusiasm refuses to fade away.
What Is Great About It: The old lady in this story is one of the most cheerful characters anyone can encounter in English fiction. Her positive disposition (personality) tries to make every negative transformation seem like a gift, and she helps us look at luck as a matter of perspective rather than events.

*House or home?*
from English Grammar Today
We use the noun house to refer to a building:
_They’re building six new *houses* at the end of our road._
When we refer to being at someone’s house, we can leave out the word house and use at + possessive or at + the definite article + possessive:
_We stayed overnight at *Mike’s*._ (at Mike’s house)
_We’re going to be at *the Jacksons’* this evening. Want to come with us?_ (at the Jacksons’ house)
We use home in a more personal and emotional way to refer to where someone lives. The noun home does not usually refer to the building. We often use home with the preposition at:
_It’s not very big but it’s my *home*._
_Why don’t you phone her now? I think she’s at *home*._
When we talk about the building we live in, we use house not home:
_Our dog stays in the *house* with us._
Not: ~Our dog stays in the home with us~.
Warning:
We usually don’t use an article or other determiner with home unless we are talking about homes in general:
_A lot of energy can be saved in *the home* by making small changes such as turning off lights_. _(energy can be saved in all *homes*.)_
We use home as an adverb with verbs of movement such as get, go, come, arrive, travel, drive. We don’t use to:
I’m *going home* now. I’m really tired.
Not: ~I’m going to home now~.
_Would you like me to drive you home?_
Not: ~Would you like me to drive you to home~?
Home can be used as a countable noun to refer to the place where people or animals live and are cared for by people who are not their relatives or owners:
_There’s a home for the elderly at the end of our street._
_We got our dog, Scotty, from the local dogs’ home
