Around the Corner
I know it's there
A ghostly vision
Waiting to jump out at me
Bones stripped bare with precision
This is the ghost of life past
My soul stripped bare
For all to see
Ready to jump out at me
My earthly sins revealed
The White lies I told
The love I can't conceal
To reveal, alas I am not that bold
Yes it waits, for me to despair
It waits, to remind me,
The past I can't repair
I wait for the dawn to rescue me
Dawn arrives the ghostly vision departs
Waving a stripped finger
Reminding me to put things right
I nod my head, it no longer lingers.
I can now turn the corner of life
To rectify my wrongs
To smile and maybe love anew
To live not just exist, once more sing songs
