HINDSIGHT 20 20

HINDSIGHT 20 20 It was Atlanta, and not many years ago With the world crashing about my ears Pledges made and encouragement given Smiles and kisses seemed natural to me It was only selfishness and a cold heart That reason would finally tear us apart Was it just fake and never meant to be And such little chance of being shriven The only genuine things left were tears But it taught me lessons I should know From then on, I’d be a lion not a lamb Not letting any hope give way to fear And resume my once purposeful path Toward those rewards that can satisfy Your expectations were way too much I’d felt like a pet rabbit kept in a hutch But I never did meekly curl up and die I was more than a keeper of the hearth But it’ll not be like that again, my dear As the script said, I don’t give a damn
