The Simple Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where does the time go
Why don't my mind know
I'm better off leaving it alone this time
I had been chasing
A light that is fading
I'm doing what I can to keep my hope alive
I used to believe in a simple truth
Followed the lead, what I'm supposed to do
But now what I need is to listen to me
I can't begin to know everything I thought I knew
All that I’ve been through
What’s it amount to
If I can’t do it better than I’ve done before
For all that I'm able
Maybe I should be grateful
You have to brace the waves before you reach the shore
I used to believe in a simple truth
Followed the lead, what I'm supposed to do
But now what I need is to listen to me
I can't begin to know everything I thought I knew
