I Can't Change History

Ego's been my hurdle, I ca see.

I put the microscope on me.

And focus I, I would never win.

Thought pride was good, it makes us small.

Like tiny mice against the wall.

I was never wrong song after song.

And it hurts to say I might've done things differently.

And it hurts because you know I can't change history.

I never heard, I never cared.

Threw all advice into the air.

Ad walked right on by, not telling lies.

Oblivious, I plowed on through as the mud pulled off my shoes.

It was deep, the hill was steep.

I was bold, I thought I knew.

Sitting high without a clue but empires fall that once stood tall.

I keep my feet down on the ground.

I use my ears, I shut my mouth.

Head out of the clouds,

I don't talk so loud.
