Another song

From an old favorite movie. It suits my mood today.



Half asleep I hear a voice.
Is it only in my mind?
Or is it someone calling me,
someone I failed and left behind?

To work it out I let them in.
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been.
All the devils that disturbed me,
and the angels that defeated them somehow,
come together in me now.

Face to face I greet the cast.
Set in silence we begin.
Companions in an empty room,
I taste their victory and sin.

To work it out I let them in.
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been.
All the devils that disturbed me,
and the angels that defeated them somehow,
come together in me now.

A tale of beauty and the beast,
I defend my soul from those who would accuse me.
I share the famine and the feast.
I have been the world and felt it turning,
seen the jester yearning to amuse me

Like a circus on parade,
seldom close enough to see.
I wander through an angry crowd,
and wonder what became of me?

To work it out I let them in.
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been.
All the devils that disturbed me,
and the angels that defeated them somehow,
come together in me now.
