Lyrics
Song - A Better Place.
Verse #1
In a world laced with beauty and with grace,
I've had my share of heartache through the years.
It took time for understanding to take shape,
Lessons learned helped to justify the tears.
(chorus)
When my time comes and it's my turn to go,
I want everyone, to realize and know.
My fellow man I strived so to embrace,
Hopin' to leave behind, a better place.
verse #2
I've walked the weaving paths of wasted time,
Blind with pride life became an endless maze.
The scales of indifference then from my eyes,
My new vision led me on to righteous ways.
(chorus)
When my time comes and it's my turn to go,
I want everyone, to realize and know.
My fellow man I strived so to embrace,
Hopin' to leave behind, a better place.
(bridge)
The well of life is deep,
And will always try to keep.
Its mysteries hidden from,
Those whom with selfish motives seek.
(instrumental)
(chorus)
When my time comes and it's my turn to go,
I want everyone, to realize and know.
My fellow man I strived so to embrace,
Hopin' to leave behind, a better place.
Just hopin' to leave behind a better place.
