Re-write

I believe it was John Lennon who said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." From my point of view, however, it seems that life is what happens while you're wishing you were doing something else. I guess that's pretty similar, but maybe it isn't? Who knows?

In other news, I took another shot at a song I wrote several months ago, and I think it turned out better this time. Maybe if I wish enough, I'll make the time to actually record a demo and maybe even let someone hear it eventually. Anyway, here it is:

Keep On Walking

I've been following the map lines, searching for a road sign,
Trying to find my way home.
Like a boy who jumps a freight train, like a book without an ending,
I'm searching for peace, and if I could ever fall asleep,
My head would stop spinning and maybe I could listen,
And know that I am on my way.

Somebody told me the Bible says Christ had nowhere to lay his head,
So I guess in some small way I know how Jesus felt.

I just killed another weekend feeling the grass beneath my feet,
In the yard of the house where I was raised.
There were people all around me, and they said they were my family,
And I got sick, and wished that things would never change.

Somebody told me the Bible says Christ was tempted for forty days,
So I guess in some small way I know how Jesus felt.

Keep on walking. Don't look back. Keep on moving. You can't change the past.

Somebody told me the Bible says Christ was mocked for what he did,
So I guess in some small way I know how Jesus felt.
