From the recording It's Time
Lyrics
Verse 1
I know they say that everything happens for a reason
And every purpose under heaven has a due season
But when you can't see it it's just hard to believe it
How you could fix a broken heart with all these missing pieces
I had the game figured out, Bobby Fischer
I thought that every word I spoke was worth a thousand pictures
Work with broken blisters, both hands 7 days
Darkness needed light so I burned my candle at both ways
Wasted time chasin rainbows to find a pot of gold
But finally learned I can't change what's out of my control
And it's true what goes around comes back around
I really wish I knew then what I know now
Chorus
I've searched all over the world lookin for love
You're the only one
Spent a lifetime looking to stars to find the sun
You're the only one
From this moment on you have my heart, nothing can tear us apart
You're the only one
Verse 2
I was a lost soul on a road paved with good intentions
Either skeptical or unaware of consequences
If ignorance is bliss then wisdom is the great depression
So if I went to Sunday school I never learned a lesson
Made mistakes and fell in traps as I was commin' up
I've got wounds that band-aids could never cover up
Knowing that I wasn't good enough to make the cut
Only taught me to pretend like everything was up and up
Wasted time chasin rainbows to find a pot of gold
But finally learned I can't change what's out of my control
And it's true what goes around comes back around
I really wish I knew then what I know now
Chorus
Verse 3
For all the times that you spoke to me and I ignored it
For every lie I told apologize for it
All the grace that you gave and was ashamed to show it
For the times I was wrong and I didn't even know it
For all the jealousy, the lust and the pride
For all my laziness and hatred that I hide
I ain't perfect, heaven knows that I tried
I let it die, that's the reason I'm alive
Chorus x2
