I thought I could get away with it
I thought no one would ever know
I thought I was smarter than the rest
I thought I could reap what I didn't sow
...
I look at the mirror and see the wrinkles on my face
The signs of aging that I cannot erase
I think of the past and all the things I've done
The choices I've made and the battles I've won
...
In the realm where hearts do speak,
Neither rich nor poor they seek.
Love, the language pure and meek,
Finds its home in strong and weak.
...
In the land where olives grow,
Underneath the sun's warm glow,
Children's laughter now lies low,
Innocence lost in the shadow.
...
"Writing is me, reading is me, rhythm is me, and those three are the whole of me.")
Karma
I thought I could get away with it
I thought no one would ever know
I thought I was smarter than the rest
I thought I could reap what I didn't sow
But it has a way of catching up
And making me pay for what I've done
It doesn't matter how long it takes
It doesn't matter how far I run
This is the law of cause and effect
It is the balance of the universe
It is the justice that I deserve
It is the consequence of my curse
Now I have to face the music
Now I have to bear the pain
Now I have to learn the lesson
Now I have to start again
But maybe there is still some hope
But maybe there is still some grace
But maybe there is still some chance
But maybe there is still some space
For me to change my ways and actions
For me to seek forgiveness and healing
For me to show remorse and compassion
For me to find a new meaning
Finally this is not only about punishment
It is also about opportunity
It is also about transformation
It is also about harmony
If you try, the results you get are failure and success, if you don't try, the result you get is only one, which is failure."
