In A Lifetime

Nothing left much to say
Now the chance has slipped away
Here's that rainy day
To wash away how things were meant to be
In a lifetime.

Had it all, now it's gone
Will I come to see
How part of me delights in hurting you and me
By throwing it all away
In a lifetime.

Maybe now I'll have the time
To see what I don't need
Maybe now I'll get to find out who I am
Wave goodbye to all the hollow friends and vested interests
Shedding skin and all the baggage therein.

Years go by
Come and go
Maybe wiser I don't know
All I know For sure
I stepped out of the dream and walked away
In a lifetime.

Maybe now you understand
Destroyed by my own hand
Got to find a way so I can have the last laugh
Maybe things will come around
For those who wrought me down
Maybe now I'll get to find out who I am.

Maybe now I'll find a way to the future
Maybe now I'll find my way back home
Now the time has come to blur out all the deadwood
See how our problems sometimes set you free.
