Have You Been Good
Have You Been Good?
I look at the grey sky smiling at me,
I remember the previous years that passed by.
I think of those times when I couldn’t hear, couldn’t see,
“Have I been good?” to this question I couldn’t lie.
Okay I was bad, but that was the past,
I learned my lessons the hard way.
If then I would quit, would decide so fast,
Now I think things over, pros and cons I weigh.
I’ve gone crazy, I’ve gone mad,
Stupid people, my honesty they judged.
Instead of being thankful, instead of being glad,
My good intensions were painted with fingers ink-smudged.
Thanks to you, who always believed and prayed,
Shame on you, who always misunderstood.
I am who I am, all my cards I laid,
Ask yourself this, “Have you been good?”
