In my quiet selfish world
I never really tried to see
if things that other people saw
appeared quite the same to me
I never wandered very far
alone, along a tedious road
but dogged some other's chosen pathway
rendering them part of my load
But once, just once it did occur me
that my ways so tried and true
may be the ways, of a fools undoing
gone then, the other world I knew
Why, then why did I create
this ember burning up my mind
Why, if i've learnt this one great lesson
can I not leave my sins behind.
