about

Last song written and a good summation. Sometimes the future looks insurmountable and the inclination is to accept inevitable failure. I choose to be the frog in the cream and live in the joyous delusion of a meaning-filled life and a happily ever after. Anyone join me? For my sons.

lyrics

When you were young
Your dad and mum told you to chase
Your dreams – I see you’re still chasing
It’s all adrift
Your life won’t fit into this place
It seems – I see what you’re facing

There’s the story that’s defined by the
scars & the pain
And the story that’s sung in the fire & the rain
And the story that reverberates in your brain
But you can do a rewrite on each refrain

Tell your own Story
One where you win
Tell your own Story
How lucky (happy, blessed) you’ve been
Think your life is full of misery (mystery)?
(Take a break from your reality)
You can make an alternative history
Tell your own Story
Now to begin

You got this far
It’s been real hard and now it’s fair
To say – You barely survived it
The truth has died
Or shoved aside or maybe scared
Away – You’re there to revive it

There’s the story that’s told in your DNA
And the story that told to you everyday
And the story that’s told in the cards that play
But it doesn’t always have to be that way

You can choose what you believe
You can believe that you can choose
You can call your loss a win
‘Cause what you meant to do is lose
