about

Self reflection and open mindedness can help make your life meaningful

lyrics

What do you know of the things they know
The world looks different from their eyes
All the hurtful things they've been through
You’ll continue to deny

From forbidden garden you picked off fruit
Far too soon, it wasn't ripe
So stubborn still you tried to eat it
A sour taste was left behind

Know your faults as you know your strengths
Or drag your heels as a last defense
In the periphery all the questions hide
Waiting their arise waiting their arise
Waiting their arise
Waiting their arise

Yet you pass through this life with blinders
Straight ahead the only view
Then you knock down, ignore reminders
Of unpleasantries you knew

Yes your opinions stay much the same
How to change, you couldn't do
For you ignore the opposition
To reaffirm your point anew

Know your faults as you know your strengths
Or beat your fists as a last defense
In the mirror image desires hide
Waiting to be obliged waiting to be obliged
Waiting to be obliged
Waiting to be obliged

Try to invite hard conversations
figure out all of the mistakes
with our heads down we are strangers
Never to know all that's at stake

All these possessions cannot guide us
Push us farther apart
they can't help to mend or find out
what is truly in each heart

A mind is weak when it can’t wrong
Find your errors to become strong
In the recent past, do deceptions hide
waiting to be made right waiting to be made right
waiting to be made right
waiting to be made right

in the deep long past, do deceptions hide
waiting to be made right waiting to be disguised
not waiting to be disguised
waiting to be made right
