When I fell from grace

I never realized

How deep the flood was around me.

A man whose life was toil

Was like a kettle left to boil,

And the water left scars on.... me.

**Interlude**

I know now who I am.

If only for a while,

I recognize the changes.

I feel ...like I did

Before the magic wore thin

And the "baptism Of s..t..a..i..n..s” began.

They used to say

I was nowhere, man,

Heading down Was my… destiny.

But yesterday, I swear,

That was someone else not me…..

Here I stand at the crossroads edge,

Afraid to reach out for eternity,

One step, when I look down,

I see someone else not me.

Looking back

Looking back and I see

Someone else.

**Interlude**

All my life

They said I was going down,

But I'm still standing…Stronger, proud.

And today…I know

There's so much more I can be….

I think I finally…understand…

From where I stand at the crossroads edge,

There's a path… leading out to sea.

And from somewhere deep in my mind,

Sirens sing out loud

Songs of doubt…As only they know how.

But one glance back reminds, and I see,

Someone else not me.

**Interlude**

I keep looking back…

At someone else…, me?
