You Stole My Song
you have done nothing wrong
just,
unintentionally –
you stole my song
and you claimed that it was your own
you have done nothing wrong
just,
spent a lifetime being alone
without the benefit of friends
you stole my dance
and tried to follow the beat
you tried to walk in my steps
but we have not got the same feet
you have done nothing wrong
but,
unintentionally –
you only see the world in your own way
and though that is not wrong
in many ways –
you stole my song
James Garratt – September 2005

Well, we never know and I think thar is a good thing. Sometimes what is ahead of us is so huge, that our knees would buckle, if we’d see it coming. Because we don’t, we make it through somehow… though most of the time, I don’t know how… it seems impossible. As you are still here, you made it through… whatever was waiting for you. You’re still standing… and that is all that matters.
