Would it be a wake up call If you tried to learn it all And realized there was more to know Thank you ever really could Would it be an ethical death row To live your life striving to do good And knowing there is more than you'd ever Understand? Would you feel less than clever? I try my very best to do good Learning at the feet of those I should Doing my best for a better tomorrow Watching the world descend into dark sorrow Holding on tight to all of those I love Keeping my eyes raised, fixed on the above And still I keep on getting it wrong There are times that I wonder where I belong Wondering who left these guys in charge Wearing garish bling and pretending to live large I see the false gold passing for swagger And it gets too much as I start to stagger Wondering who is right when everybody's wrong And all we have left is to keep on being strong Doing our best to keep walking in the light And keep our compositions smoothly running tight Trying hard to avoid negative interactions Keeping discrete in my accountable reactions Trail blazing into further contemplations Taking my time in sharing explorations Realizing that maybe some answers are best found In bursting into the somewhat less than profound Seeking my perfection in trying to keep it light But, I have a sneaking suspicion, I won't get this right..
