My rocker image is going down the drain fast, I'm getting softer by the hour
Time for another "Gentlebrains" song, I blame @monnodb
But I must admit Karen has been a great support esp when it comes to lyrics, helping me cut the rough edges and getting to the core.
https://soundcloud.com/jambrains/i-believedWhen you've passed all of the milestones
they put up along the road
A one way street ahead
And a wall behind you
When everything's been said and done
and all’s been seen and heard
Not an empty page remains
in your diary
I believed
one day I would be heard
And I believed
the meek would inherit the earth
Now I see
I just stood there
as my life passed me by
Now I see
I wasted what was given
I took the wrong turn once or twice
Did things that I regret
And shied away
From doing what I should have
I tried so hard to walk the line
Between my truth and yours
Lied when honesty
Would be misunderstood
I believed
one day I would be heard
And I believed
the meek would inherit the earth
Now I see
I just stood there
as my life passed me by
Now I see
I wasted what was given
I should have stopped for a while
To contemplate my life
But I kept on running
Scared to fall behind
Chasing worthless goals and dreams
Fighting misconceived
danger and enemies
That existed only in my mind
I believed
one day I would be heard
And I believed
the meek would inherit the earth
Now I see
I just stood there
as my life passed me by
Now I see
I wasted what was given
