EVALUATION
It’s not progressed the way I thought
This journey once compelling
Despite the strength with which I fought
It’s not progressed the way I thought
And though some projects led to naught
And certain wins were telling
It’s not progressed the way I thought
This journey once compelling
.
CEDING
There comes a time we must concede
When what we’ve done transgresses
No matter how we fight or plead
There comes a time we must concede
In spite of what a spirit freed
In life and love expresses,
There comes a time we must concede
When what we’ve done transgresses
.
LAMENT
I haven’t felt the sun awhile
Its warmth and clear direction
I’ve rambled far too many miles
I haven’t felt the sun awhile
And tho’ abiding many trials
In truth with no exception
I haven’t felt the sun awhile
Its warmth and clear direction
.
REMEMBERING
It’s not the way it felt at first
When I was young and willing
The endless needs and constant thirst
It’s not the way it felt at first
And though my life’s been unrehearsed
At times not worth a shilling
It’s not the way it felt at first
When I was young and willing
.
SYNOPSIS
Despite all grief, these lessons learned
Were worth the price I paid
It’s offered me what’s truly earned
Despite all grief, these lessons learned
And though the world would jilt or spurn
Through battles strength I prayed
Despite all grief, these lessons learned
Were worth the price I paid…
