RESOLUTIONS
copyright © 2004 by Eben Brooks

Stop worrying that the world ain't right
Stop taking on other people's fights
Stop wondering what the world will see
When it turns its million eyes on me
Stop crying about the chances missed
The roads not walked, the girls not kissed
Start living for a single day
One that isn't thirty years away
Stop looking for a grand solution
I say I want a resolution
Well, you know...

I thought that I could be Don Juan
Never fall in love, just having fun
It took my worst heartbreak to see
That I was fooling only me
Now I'm trying not to think too much
Not rely on that cerebral crutch
'Cause I'm trying to find out who I am
Until then, nothing's worth a damn
I can't wait around for inspiration
I'm talking about my revelations
I'm talking about my m-my my revelations

Now, darkness has its claws in me
And the Devil has no sympathy
So I hide inside my emptiness
'Cause to fill it up would just make a mess
Living, loving, and having fun
Well, it's damn hard work, and I've just begun
But I'm slowly making my own way
Down the road that leads me to the day
When I can say with a straight face
That I'm a man of health and grace
Pleased to meet'cha!

@KongKegso2 Heh. Thanks. :)

[KongKegso2]

pop songs from 60's to 70's refferences? You're awesome!

Where are you these days? I know it's been a long time since I've seen you, but I never did hear where you went.

Aaron and I love that you are on You Tube, since we do not make it to San Diego as often as we would like.

[ebenbrooks]

Most definitely. I've written three new songs just this summer! :D

[AndreaKendall]

Nice to see you still have your muse.
