I bend at the knees and I break
I savour, then crave it, the twisting of fate
My fingers are grasping at straws and straw men to make
But hours slip through them, it’s getting late.
I was searching for counsel, I was angry and sore
I had pondered my choices and what was in store
I was looking for answers, pride tattered and torn
I had squandered my chances and slept through the morn.
But I shouldn’t be sour, I gave in, I gave out
The only thing for it is to get it all back in the next round.
But I shouldn’t be sour, I gave in, I gave out
So I took his advice and let go of my fears and my doubts
I came unburdened
I came undone
I came crawling for judgement
In the harsh glare of the sun
The weight of his wisdom hit me like a freight train...
“Be happy in your heart,” he implored
“You’ve heard me say it at least a thousand times before.”
“You work all your life to fill certain desires.”
“Do what makes you happy” was his only reply.
“I’m a little more comfortable but an awful lot older
Seen places and faces that made me feel colder
Leave no wave unridden
Leave no stone unturned
And you’ll be riding this life for all that it’s worth
You’ll back in the next round
You’ll back in the next round.”
I’ll be back in the next round.
