I wrote this in 2005. By then I had those things figured out that would have been great to have figured out before but like most people we learn after the fact....right?
lyrics
Childhood memories escape me now
Besides which in those days we were carefree anyhow
But I remember my first time on that star
Now I know it really pays to remain who you truly are
I pulled the curtain down when the show was done
It was quite finished but for me it had just begun
I found there was no need for anyone to grieve
Now I know it really pays to live as you believe
I’ve slept in the cold; all wet on the ground
Thought I lost everything but now it is found
My fears are far away and in it all so deep
Now I know it really pays to sow before you reap
