Could Have Been Sunshine
It takes a lot to break a young man’s will
It takes a lot to make an old man lie
It takes a shot in the dark from a woman’s heart
To make a man come alive
It takes a lot to make an young man forget
It takes a lot to break an old man’s pride
It takes a sweet memory and mound of regret
To make the strongest man cry
I used to think I was strong
I used to think of only myself
My desires and dreams
My liar’s tongue and schemes
It’s hard now to believe
It’s hard now to think
I used to believe I was strong
It takes a loss to teach a young man’s heart
It takes a loss to reach into an old man’s thoughts
It takes a fence with greener ground to come around
To make man realize life’s true cost
And, in the end it’s like a hurricane
So much energy pent up, spent upon a memory
While life twists around, creating years of clouds
That could have been sunshine with a different state-of-mind
I used to think I was strong
I used to think of only myself
My desires and dreams
My liar’s tongue and schemes
It’s hard now to believe
It’s hard now to think
That it could have been sunshine
