The One I Once Was
May. 7th, 2020 12:39 pmMy abilities only within the words I spread upon the pages of memory
Setting hearts and minds wandering through the distances and seas
This again, not as fluent as a thought, the candle put out
Always was as it will be, I am not in the mind to wait and wonder
My compasion in this fashion set aside to see the storm goes under
Your mind, not mine, it's known now as I lose myself to your words
I believe in you so much this time to chronicle what's heard
Inside forever now from this undoubted shouting fit
Once bitten then removed from mouths so willing to commit
I'll be this man, forever there to lend a helping hand
Though it may not be always in my power to command
Your hearts forever open as I care to be your guide
No more shall this portrayal of a man be what I hide
Setting hearts and minds wandering through the distances and seas
This again, not as fluent as a thought, the candle put out
Always was as it will be, I am not in the mind to wait and wonder
My compasion in this fashion set aside to see the storm goes under
Your mind, not mine, it's known now as I lose myself to your words
I believe in you so much this time to chronicle what's heard
Inside forever now from this undoubted shouting fit
Once bitten then removed from mouths so willing to commit
I'll be this man, forever there to lend a helping hand
Though it may not be always in my power to command
Your hearts forever open as I care to be your guide
No more shall this portrayal of a man be what I hide
