For the Best

The sun may rise on the other side
I only see it when it sets
I've walked backwards twice before
Always tripping on the threats

He told me how I was wrong
That everything I knew was tainted
From nothing grew the big picture
The same picture he always painted

I was sold on the first night
Never knew I'd get this chance
If I'm wrong it's for the best
At least I took a stance

I've never touched a soul so rough
No I've never touched a soul

The sun may rise on the other side
I only see it when it sets
I've walked backwards twice before
Always tripping on the threats

Sometimes we're just speechless
When we want everyone to hear us
But I believe in the atoms
Composing stratums beneath us

I was sold on the first night
Never knew I'd get this chance
If I'm wrong it's for the best
At least I took a stance

There are no voices here
That speak more than softly
Just one second is all I need
To show you that I'll be

I've never touched a soul so rough
No I've never touched a soul

I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am
I know who I am

I was sold on the first night
Never knew I'd get this chance
If I'm wrong it's for the best
At least I took a stance

I've never touched a soul so rough
No I've never touched a soul

More collective effort has gone into this song than probably any other. There are some lines borrowed from ancient poetry of mine, but a significant amount is new. I wrote music for it which has a nifty little solo. It has a simple enough melody so that I can play it and sing it at the same time. So I suppose I am rather proud of it. If you are bothered by the parts that are repeated then that is just too bad. It is more for me to know the structure of the song. Enjoy.
