The Things I've Gone And Done |
Take down your defenses |
Like you’ve taken off your clothes |
It’s such a glorious insurrection |
Not to hold your secrets close |
What’s the use in counting errors |
Or the help in counting sheep |
I don’t intend to live my whole life out |
Just to find I was asleep |
It’s not the things I’ve gone and done, I’ll regret or be ashamed |
But the things I did not say or do, just because I was afraid. |
How mysterious and wondrous |
The strange circling of the mind |
And that I can see as far ahead of me As I can see behind |
Hindsight is always 20/20 |
Yet, we’ll see what we want see |
And I used to pray for wisdomp |
Now I know just what that means |
It’s not the things I’ve gone and done, I’ll regret or be ashamed |
But the things I did not say or do, just because I was afraid. |
I’m learning to forgive |
And I relearn it everyday |
Every time I stoop to gather stones |
I Straighten up and walk away. |
I don’t have another message |
I don’t have anything to sell |
And there are no easy answers |
As far as I can tell |
But I don’t believe that Jesus was crazy |
Or that it is Mohammad’s fault |
When something good can get so twisted |
Till there’s no semblance at all |
It’s not the things I’ve gone and done, I’ll regret or be ashamed |
But the things I did not say or do, just because I was afraid. |
Just because the odds are bad |
Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t risk |
Don’t believe it will not happen |
Just because it hasn’t happen yet |
