A Better Way (Song For the Redundant Man)

Now they don’t want me, now they don’t care might just as well go back to bed, up those wooden stairs. They took it all away from me, everything I knew now it’s all gone and there’s nothing I can do. I wondered if it would happen, ever happen to me and now that it has, the future’s hard to see. There has to be a reason, why it’s me this time don’t think I want to know, just want to save my mind. Maybe there’s a better way, a better way to be maybe it’s out there waiting, waiting there for me. Got to try to find it, got to take the time see if I can find a way, to make the future mine. Life is very different now, with no place to go some days I’m fine, others times I’m low. My thoughts remind me, of what I left behind on a sad and lonely day, which often comes to mind. But I must take a look, at what’s before me now to see if I can try, to start again somehow. Maybe follow a dream, is something I should do and find somewhere else to be, where I can see it through. Maybe there’s a better way, a better way to be maybe it’s out there waiting, waiting there for me, Got to try to find it, got to take the time see if I can find a way, to make the future mine.
