That Place I Read About
I don’t know why I do this and I really don’t care
I see people in an office and I’m glad I’m not there
think I’m losin’ weight
think I’m losin’ hair on my head
I have read about deliverance then wondered why
I have seen the sunset in the sky
and I'm thankful for
just a little more time to spend
see so many people running around
no sign of slowing down
living like that’ll turn you inside out
that’s why I’m lookin’ for that place that I read about
she said "I really don't know who I was last month
I just know I didn’t like myself that much
but things are better now I think I'm learnin’ how to step back"
he says "I’ve reached a pinnacle I know who I am
and I’m sorry my dearbut I do give a damn
and if this is a test I do my best when I’m flat on my back"
but to be anything you got to be it all the time.
some drop their dreams to reach for a dime
so until they come around and there is no doubt
you’ll find me looking for that place that I read about
most folks hide the wound then flaunt the scar
but people are whatever they say they are
I mean, no one else but yourself
is gonna save your soul
cuz the sun still goes down every day
and morning rolls in the very same way
but the funniest part is the art of landing your role
and as I sit here in this wooden chair
wonderin’ how I’m ever gonna get there
I can feel my soul scratching for a way to get out
so I can go and find that place that I read about.
