Stopping By The River

Had I listened
Had I forgiven
Had I looked
In the mirror to see that

In my mind there was a place
That I could shift and twist
I tried to do things right
But in the end it was the same

(In the flow of life)
Stopped for a moment
(And realized)
What’ve I just turned
(A monster of a man)
Without conscience
(A sinner of the worst kind)
Hidden in a selfish cloak of lies

(In the flow of life)
I contemplated
(And realized)
The mistake I’ve made
(A monster of a man)
Without consideration
(A sinner of the worst kind)
A hypocrite and the slave of my mind
