Good Intentions
You've heard tell the road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
I've been on that crew and so have you
Do I even need to mention
I've held the measuring tape as you paved the way
The blacktop hot with sorrow
As we looked away in our Ray-Ban shades
Saying we'll worry about that tomorrow
Mile after mile pouring doubt
Onto the hardened surface
With our best guess thinking, we've got this
Life down pat with purpose
Not realizing that what our pavement lacks
Is a heart that truly listens
One reason we can't help that the road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
