In light of my present mess
In light of my mental weather's turn
In light of all the crash and burn
I'll open my mind as wide as ever
The lie behind the lesson, the soul in the open well
It might have been fate, it might have been fortune
It might have been wine and a mellow head
I'm finding my way, finding the words
One body breakin
Someone come and rise up, rise like the sun
If I am no one, somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
Pride doesn't own me now
But know that at times life kinda hurts
And know that I will live and learn
So more than survive I will endeavour
The mind behind the message, alone on an ocean swell
It might have been grace, it might have been gorgeous
It might have been why I've settled in
A helpless man, a held out hand
Defining images that flow through my hope's surrender
The broken moments and pointing fingers
The closing of open minds
I might have been delayed, might have been delirious
I might have been otherwise
Taking hammer blows
Like an animal
For others
So heavy was my weight
