Time To Go Inward — текст песни (Rodney Crowell)

It`s time to go inward take a look at myself
Time to make the most of the time that I`ve got left
Prison bars imagined are no less solid steel

Time to go inward would you believe that I`m afraid
To stare down the barrel of the choices I have made
The ghost of bad decisions make mountains out of everything I feel

Outside my window the wind weaves a path through the trees
The moon takes a shine to the shadows that fall on the leaves

It`s time to go inward Hmmm
I don`t know if I can do it after all that I`ve become
I`ve been a fool for money but it`s vanity that always leaves me flat

It`s time to go inward man I hope I have the nerve
To take an inventory of the causes that I serve
They say a man without a conscience is like a man without a country
or something like that

It`s time to go inward time to be still
If I don`t do it now I don`t believe I ever will
My mind is like a chatterbox whose noise pollutes the pathways
to my soul

Time to go inward time to get a grip
Time to put an end to one long bad acid trip
I`m all out of excuses for the way I`ve let my choices take a toll

Jesus and Buddah and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew
Do unto other the things you want done unto you

Time to go inward take a look at me
Try to make some sense of life`s illusions that I see
Try to solve the riddle of what it is I have to offer to this world
