Good Man
I was once a good man, that was pure
But the man today I am not so sure
In the shadow of guilt, I now stand
Though I understand why I changed
Time changes us, like a rolling stream
And choices once made, you can’t redeem
Once soul is stained, the heart is sore
Wandering aimlessly, through streets unknown
With weary feet and a heart full of stone
The path I've lost, the man I was
In hopes to find, redemption because
I long to feel, the warmth of the love
That once filled my heart, like a guiding dove.
In fields of gold, where daffodils grow
Where the breeze blows soft, and the river flows
Maybe there, I will find my way
And be the good man, I was yesterday
