Down around the corner

A man he waits for me

A prophet from the old days

With the wisdom of a sage

It was a cold dark night

When we first met

The moon it filled the sky

I'll never forget the words he said

As he looked me in the eye

He said boy, you look troubled

I know what's on your mind

Been walking in circles

All your life

Your whole life you've been blind

The past it tells the story

Of who you are today

If you want to change

Who you become

Listen to what I say

Each man's life's a journey

A challenge for his soul

When you learn to accept yourself

Your being will be whole

Have love for your brothers

Treat them as your own

Make your presence a blessing

Wherever you may roam

Thunder roared in the distance

And lightning flashed in the sky

As he handed me my destiny

I looked him in the eye

Sir, I believe your story

I know that you are wise

I know that I can't change the past

But I can change my life

If I love myself and others

I know when I leave this life

My never ending story

Began right here tonight
