You've Never Steered Me Wrong
I found the reason for living,
In the beating of a drum.
Where everything has a purpose,
A place where everything belongs.
And, I’ve been living in the fallout
Of an atomic bomb,
There may be stumbles in my footprints,
But you’ve never steered me wrong.
So don’t you feel embarrassed
By your young suffering,
For what is learned in the morning,
By the evening, becomes instinct.
I’ve been dreaming of a culture,
I’ve been auctioning the sky,
As you draw me a new future;
Oh, it’s so beautiful, I cry.
So now I’m getting on that train,
To put some miles in between,
Who I appear as in the doorway,
And who I really mean to be.
And, I’ve been living in the fallout
Of an atomic bomb,
There may be stumbles in my footprints,
But you’ve never steered me wrong.
This is a song I wrote about a week ago. Probably poignant because it was about someone who the very next day, betrayed me.
