Times are far between,

and few I bet,

when we can look upon our lives

without regret.

Of all the things I have done,

you think I'm proud

of everyone

without exception?

'Till you make your peace with yesterday,

you'll never build a future.

I swear by what I say.

Whatever penance you do,

decide what it's worth to you

and then respect it.

However long it will take

to weather your mistakes,

why not accept it?

My hands, for now, are tied.

I'm a body frozen.

I'm a will that's paralyzed.

When will you ever set aside your pain and misery?

No matter how I beg,

no matter how I wish or plead,

you'll never be more than alive.

You'll never do more than survive

until you expect it.

Do you want to build a

world with our lives?

You better soon decide

or you can forget it.

My hands, for now, are tied.

I'm a body frozen.

I'm a will that's paralyzed.

'Till you drop that heavy baggage

you're dragging behind,

there won't be room

for us to both go this ride.



Eager to please was just the way that he was 

though his attempts there falling short, 

expectation 

see he would tell of all his conquests, 

was he bragging? 

but in the evening all alone 

Ellen unplanned delays 

saving for someone who really cared about you 

invincible they say 

married to your name 

she was the kind between a child and a lady, 

quick was her temper 

like a blaez from an ember 

no one had measured to her standard, 

so in the evening all alone all alone 

how do I tell them to open their minds 

and to take a chance 

maybe on finding life’s treasure stubborn they stay set 

in their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.
