My Story......
Oh, little boy, have you lost your way?
Moving on from the times of visiting
That wishing well to pray
Throw a coin in the water
And make another wish
Revisit a much simpler time
Where ignorance was bliss
Where guidance was provided
When you had nowhere to go
A map, a compass, a new direction
But you still didn't know.....
Oh, little boy, go outside and play
And show me all the new friends
That you'll never make
They bully and tease
And you never seem to fit in
So on this journey you go, finding yourself
Until you're standing at the cliff
People screaming, everything you've done is wrong
Have you lost yourself inside a thousand songs?
They understand you, speak to you and not just to your face
They reached down inside for truth and uplifted understanding
From a sad and empty place
You progress through struggle, and onward you go
But you still didn't know....
(solo)
Oh, young man, how far you've come and grown
Soon it will be time, to leave this place you've called home
So much you have cherished, so much you have built
Now repentance is farther away and you're blackened by guilt
So the first one was the trial, an act of love and contrition
That grew weary when new love was born, or maybe vindication
And after blood was gone cold, and her face was still full
She lay half-waking in a bed of white
She would love you all of her life until she passed before the new year's light
In your heart there is anger and resentment, confusion and pain
Where even the sunny months turn in to rainy days
But up there she still loves you, holding on you your dreams
And you replay memories....like re-cut movie scenes
In your heart of alienation, distance and growth
There is a place one day you're longing to call home
And you'll find a time, when cupid got it right
And true love will show
And someday you'll finally know
