It Was Good

It's not quite wrong
It's just not right
Well at least I see
It in this light
See hope once cost
A man his life
And the dreams he dreamt
Are dead tonight
So the light that shines continue so
Just not on me for I must go
And find my own way through the open wood
Hopefully one day I'll let you know
I got there safely on my own
And it was good
I'm sometimes wrong
And seldom right
Well a man just does
What takes his flight
And he checks his heart
And if it's light
Then the dreams he dreamt
Will live tonight
So the light that shines continue so
Just not on me for I must go
And find my own way through the open wood
Hopefully one day I'll let you know
I got there safely on my own
And it was good
So the light that shines continue so
Just not on me for I must go
And find my own way through the open wood
Hopefully one day I'll let you know
I got there safely on my own
And it was good
It was good
It was good
It was good
