I was young
Working hard
I got lost
But I didn’t care
‘Cause I believed
That I would see
The godhead

Sold my soul
A million bucks
I found some money
But I lost my Love
And having seen
I now believe what mom said

She said love is a heart at rest
Not some illusionary Friend
Or Her tenderness
Well, this time around,
I think I finally found it.
This time around,
I think I finally found it.

That was then
This is now
A fresh new day
But that same old stale doubt
And still the dream of that
Yet unseen godhead

Thought I knew
I guess that’s life
You change you’re mind
You change your wrong and right
Sometimes things
Seem to be causeless

But cause is a state of mind
We are the Gods to the worlds we make
Of our own design
Well this time around
I think I’ve finally found mine
This time around
I think I’ve finally found mine

Don’t quite know
Where I am
Where I’ve gone
Or where I’ll go again
All I know
Is I will go
Proudly

I’ll have my mind
My Set-In-Stones
No, they’re not yours
So, please, just leave them alone
You make these songs your own
They’re not about me

Because Song is a truth untold
Free from the shackles of Common Words
And of the weight they hold
Well, this time around
I think I finally let go
Well this time around
I think I finally let go.
