How the World Should Work

I know you’ve been there all this time

I lost the rhythm to my rhyme

I know you waited patiently

To find myself – the me in me

Please understand I give my hand

I’m sorry I took it away

I lost myself amongst this land

There’s not much more that I can say

There is so much I hold within

I hardly know where to begin

I know you know what things I mean

That things aren’t always what they seem

I needed someone I could blame

For all the hurt and all the shame

I know now that it wasn’t you

I’ve pondered things and thought them through

I love you God, I mean it now

It’s strange how things all work somehow

You are my father, guiding light

And you have saved my life tonight
