Wishful Thinking
Living is easy
In the times it's not hard
Once we've learned the rules
We have a fighting chance
No one knows for sure
Until they put the hammer to the anvil
Once I was blind
To the messes I made now I see
Same old story
Same long songs and dance
Reap sow sow reap
Wiser than I said these things
Not saying who am I
To question I have that right
So much to learn
More than a lifetime to learn it
When I rest my bones
My head darts forward and my heart recalls
It isn't a matter
Of better than or worse
More like a balance
I need to strike
It's true what they say
about vibes...
My key is to keep those vibrations
In some kind of light
All those hurtful things
I lay claim to
They travel space and time
I never knew I was in control
Now I have a fighting chance
Knowing what I need to know
