another year older – moving onward, but what do i have to show for it? sometimes i think that i am just on autopilot, going through the motions – freefalling… the journey through the years has not always been easy but it is totally worth it and has even been fun. i always looked forward to what tomorrow had in store and what more i could learn with each passing day…
somewhere along the way – did i get jaded or did i lose my optimistic disposition? no. scarred? yes. smarter? absolutely.
i am not down for good. i am also not looking for a fairy tale or easy ‘button’. my life has changed and molded me into who i am now…and for the most part, i like it.

drivin’ n cryin’ – scarred but smarter
well i'm out of work, i'm out of hope
what should be of thee i spoke
good times for the undeserved
and bad times for the ones who work
i said poor man, rich man, blind man, dead man
hoped for more than they had all planned
just then they suffered a serious blow
as the real world cuts the line you hold
nobody said it would be fair
they warned you before you went out there
there's always a chance to get restarted
to a new world, new life, scarred but smarter
is it right to wish the poor man rich?
is it right to wish the rich man poor?
to hope all that's well is well ends fair
to wish thy neighbors life to despair
being so mad that i start crying
no payoff for all my trying
to do it right, to never fail
i'm wishing for a fairy tale
nobody said it would be fair
they warned me before i went out there
there's always a chance to get restarted
to a new world, new life, scarred but smarter
but then my life it turns all around
jobs and things to do that i've found
i think how foolish i must have looked
to think i could be down for good
nobody said it would be fair
but in the end i think it is.
karma, justice, whatever you call it.
it's really there just keep looking for it
nobody said it would be fair
but in the end i think it is.
karma, justice, whatever you call it.
it's really there just keep looking for it
nobody said it would be fair
they warned you before you went out there
there's always a chance to get restarted
to a new world, new life, scarred but smarter
