Lyrics

It's funny how some oaks hang on
So long after the other leaves are gone
And how in the bitter winter air
What rustling whispers are said
Of memories long thought dead
And it's funny how they linger there
And how they rustle inside my head
The past is the same
From day to day
Yet sometimes it hits me
In a different way
Forgetfully sometimes
I'll cheerfully bound;
Other times my pain
Holds me to the ground;
With humiliation so
Extreme I cannot breathe;
Or anger still unfaded
To make me seethe
Or sometimes I remember
The times I hurt someone;
Then I can't bear to think
Of what things I've done
May we learn
From our mistakes
Or will they forever bind
Us to shame?
Is there no redemption
Only blame?
Having transgressed would it
Be best we
Should lie down to die?
I guess that might be so
But I really don't know
Every day the arc of
Your redemption begins anew
For you're measured against
Encounters with everyone who
Has a grievance or tale
Even if what they say
Might not be true
You can defend it or amend it
And use it to drive you
To improve all that you do
The worst of humanity
Can all be found in me
Albeit to a lesser degree
But the kids who think they know
Of themselves deny it could be so
How far can progress like that go?
