It is not easy to look back,
And stare at your mistakes
But I must admit I often do that
And get a kick out off my bed
I have my old ways
Those habits that I built,
No one to blame but myself
They are a work of my hands
They are a work of my will.
It is not easy to see
Your skin spread across the ground,
But I do like to lick my wounds
And imagine I am safe and sound.
But I am not safe
Nor I am sound
And this you have taught me.
I have not been safe,
Nor have I ever been sound
But it is like this that you brought me.
Because, everything crumbles
But not me,
Everything stalls
Except this:
I have my old ways
And they brought me to where I stand
And now I can see what
My new ways have for me
A promised land
Slowly but surely
I am moving along
I am changing my old ways
Let me whistle my new song.
