SO CLOSE I SEE

ALL THE THINGS I HAVE SEEN

COME BACK TO ME

IN TIMES OF REFLECTION

A GLIMPSE INTO THE START

AND THE END

THE POSSIBLE OUTCOMES

THAT COULD OF BEEN

I DO NOT KNOW WHY ITS OVER

I MADE MY CHOICES

I OWNED THE CONSEQUENCES ALONE

 ANOTHER SONG HAPPY OR SAD

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT WELL ALONE

THE DISTANCE EARNED 

I BARELY LEARNED

THE PRICE I PAID

THE MISTAKES I MADE

WERE STEPPING STONES

THAT LED THE WAY

TO BETTER DAYS

I WONDERED IF I WOULD SEE

IF ONLY I KNEW

WHAT WAS GOOD FOR ME

I WOULD NOT HAVE TO GUESS

MAKE A MESS OF EVERYTHING I TOUCH

I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME LOOKING

FOR SOMETHING TO CHANGE ME

MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN

FORGIVE MY TRESPASSES 

MY SINS

BECAUSE FROM WHERE I STAND

ITS WHERE I AM

ITS ALL INSIDE WAITING

A BOOK THAT IS OPEN WIDE

SOON SKIES OF BLUE

REVEAL THE TRUTH

I COULD NOT SEE

NOW EXPOSED, I SUPPOSE

EVERYTHING IS CLEAR

A THIN VENEER OF DREAMS

NOW THAT I AM SO CLOSE I SEE

WHAT THIS ALL MEANS TO ME

A PASS WAS NEVER FAR

TO FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE

GOT THIS FAR NOW WATCH ME

GO MY OWN WAY
