It's time to go inward take a look at myself
|
Time to make the most of the time that I've got left
|
Prison bars imagined are no less solid steel
|
|
Time to go inward would you believe that I'm afraid
|
To stare down the barrel of the choices I have made
|
The ghost of bad decisions make mountains out of everything I feel
|
|
Outside my window the wind weaves a path through the trees
|
The moon takes a shine to the shadows that fall on the leaves
|
|
It's time to go inward Hmmm
|
I don't know if I can do it after all that I've become
|
I've been a fool for money but it's vanity that always leaves me flat
|
|
It's time to go inward man I hope I have the nerve
|
To take an inventory of the causes that I serve
|
They say a man without a conscience is like a man without a country
|
or something like that
|
|
It's time to go inward time to be still
|
If I don't do it now I don't believe I ever will
|
My mind is like a chatterbox whose noise pollutes the pathways
|
to my soul
|
|
Time to go inward time to get a grip
|
Time to put an end to one long bad acid trip
|
I'm all out of excuses for the way I've let my choices take a toll
|
|
Jesus and Buddah and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew
|
Do unto other the things you want done unto you
|
|
Time to go inward take a look at me
|
Try to make some sense of life's illusions that I see
|
Try to solve the riddle of what it is I have to offer to this world
|
