i thought i'd find it in a new town
with different faces and places and sights all around

a fresh start, life anew, a break from the past
no routine or rut or part in which i'm cast

not an earth shattering premise, i'm willing to admit
but something had to change, to give, i just had to quit

quit being so selfless, as arrogant as that may sounds
my head was in the sky but my feet were held to the ground

when is it my time, my turn, i asked myself
when do i get to reap the crops of seeds i had dealt

and then i realized, with no fanfare, my new role
for in one's life there are times where he alone can save his soul.
