I'm not quote perfect unquote
At least not by atypical standards
But I've sure got a lot that I can boast
And some grace to cast a light out from this lantern
So I wont be tripping, stumbling through the dark
Though I've tripped before and fallen many times
When I've skinned my knees and palms it sure did hurt
But they've got healed up and come back to being fine
And that's just the point of life, ain't it so
To make mistakes in hopes you finally get it right
For the only thing you really can control
Is if you choose to take a step to keep the fight
Because it sure as hell is easy just to fear
To keep yourself held within a prison
Because the mind is quite mischievous and queer
Would turn a fool before it ever gave you wisdom
Now, who's to say that I ain't nothing but a fool
Blinded by a hurt and left to wander
To think about it, it really just seems cruel
And to think that that's a thing that I could ponder
Morning comes and I open up my eyes
And looking in the mirror, I'm getting older
Silence in display, with no replay
I think another day, I'll let these feelings smolder
There can be so much distraction if it's let
And the things we pile on can sure get heavy
Yet it's never building muscle with it's heft
And to carry it, we're never truly ready
Now I told you I ain't quite the perfect man
At least not by the atypical standards
But one thing for sure is I ain't afraid to stand
To search for truth in and all amongst the answers
