"Things On My Mind"
by John Welton
© 2004

 

I've been takin' a beating from life lately

maybe I deserve it

I make my share of mistakes

and I'm far away from perfect

 

so maybe I got a karmic debt

that I just haven't paid off yet

I know I got to pay my debts

I never meant to send so many rubber checks

 

I've been searchin' for somethin' but I don't know how to find it

i'm not sure what it is but I think I'm right behind it

It always seems just beyond my grasp

sometimes I can't help but ask... why me?

 

I guess I'll know what it's all about just when I'm all the way down and out!

 

sometimes you got to lose it all just to see what's left

and sometimes you got to nearly die to see you're not dead yet

you might have to open your eyes just to see that you're blind

I don't know what all of this means just some things on my mind

 

I've been meaning to work on my procrastination

soon as I get around to working on my lack of motivation

I know that there should be nothing to it all I gotta do is get up and do it

with all my thoughts spinning round and round

there's no kind of progress to be found

 

I've been racking my brain lately tryin' to organize it

seems to make it more complicated when I over-analyze it

I check the places that they tell you to look

self-help and metaphysical books

I could read every book on the shelf

but the answer gonna come from within myself
