I went out to find
A way to take tings off my mind
escaping again to a busy retreat
As I breathe effortlessly
The air is still and cold
My thoughts will come
I'm holding on
Spinning around
I won't let go
It's the times when I'm at ease
My selfish ways grown obsolete
And nothing can compete
with a song so deep inside of me
Yes, I want to be a better man
As the sun was rising
I was rising too
the breaking of day
what a wonderful view
No rushing through my days
No thinking ten steps ahead
but being right in the now
changed me somehow
It's the times when I'm at ease
My selfish ways grown obsolete
And nothing can compete
with a song so deep inside of me
Yes, I want to be a better man
After years of rupture and cruelty
the one thing we share with our enemies
was nothing but fear
As we reach out to one another
our hearts newly discovered
there was nothing but love
It's the times when I'm at ease
My selfish ways grown obsolete
And nothing can compete
with a song so deep inside of me
It's the times when I'm at ease
My selfish ways grown obsolete
And nothing can compete
with a song so deep inside of me
Yes, I want to be a better man
I vow to change my sorry ways
I want to get better
I want to be a better man
I vow to change my sorry ways
I want to get better
I want to be a better man
