Could have been a better man
A better lover and a better friend
I could have been what I was told to be
Could have been what you wanted to
But I never do the things I should
Will I become what I have been all along
It takes time to find your life
And a life to find that time
It takes as little as we know
It takes passion, it takes peace
Fights and disbelief
But where life leads you, you must go
Could have been a poet or
Simply be the boy next door
Off to war, a soldier smoking roses
I have had my moneys worth
Bought and sold and feinted hurt
But destiny is the ground beneath our feet
It takes time to find your life
And a life to find that time
It takes as little as we know
It takes passion, it takes peace
Fights and disbelief
But where life leads you, you must go
When it all comes down
When it all blows up
When the choices have been made
When it all blows up
When it all comes down
It takes time to find your life
And a life to find that time
It takes as little as we know
It takes passion, it takes peace
Fights and disbelief
But where life leads you, you must go
