Final Song
Journey of Redemption: Unveiling Life's Choices and Consequences
Lyrics
I grew up just west of the woods
I grew up in a location just west of the woods.
Tryna do my best to do the best that I could
I tried my best to excel and achieve the best outcomes.
Stole as many hearts as I could fit in my bag
I emotionally connected with many people, possibly in a romantic sense.
And often stared for hours at the choices I had
I contemplated and pondered for extended periods on the options available to me.
I never skipped a beat when it came to my faith
I remained steadfast in my religious beliefs.
I'm lyin' every Sunday I would drown in disgrace
Contrary to my claim of faithfulness, I lied every Sunday, feeling a sense of guilt.
Hang my head for the rest of the week
I carried the weight of my guilt throughout the week.
And try to find a better place to spread my disease
I sought a better place to overcome and rid myself of my personal issues.
Well I went to church on Sunday and on Monday I was gone
After attending church on Sunday, I left on Monday, indicating a disconnect from religious values.
Somewhere in his final words I found my final song
In the final words of someone significant, I discovered the inspiration for my concluding piece of music.
And the waitress says "You're one great man, but all you are is one." So
A waitress acknowledges my greatness but points out that I am still just an individual.
Roll on my shoulder I'll catch the next train home
I shoulder the responsibility and decide to head home by catching the next train.
I've been called a loner
I've been labeled as someone who prefers solitude.
I've been called a creep
Others have considered me strange or unsettling.
I've been called a trouble maker, a liar, and a cheat
People have accused me of causing trouble, lying, and cheating.
I never really got around to dealin' with my demons
I never addressed or confronted my personal struggles and inner conflicts.
So my demons all dealt with me
My unresolved issues and inner demons eventually caught up with me.
The good lord knows I coulda had so much more
Despite potential, I acknowledge that I could have achieved more in life.
I maybe coulda had a family
I recognize that I might have had the opportunity for a family but didn't pursue it.
Then I went to church on Sunday and on Monday I was gone
I repeated the pattern of attending church on Sunday and leaving on Monday.
Somewhere in his final words I found my final song
In the last words of someone important, I found inspiration for my final musical creation.
And the waitress says, "You're one great man, but all you are is one." So
A waitress praises my greatness but reminds me of my individuality.
Roll on my shoulder I'll catch the next train home
Shouldering my burdens, I decide to catch the next train home.
