Rodney Crowell - Time to Go Inward lyrics

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 that I've 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 Hmmmmm 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 now for the way I've let my choices take a toll Jesus and Buddah and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew To do unto other the things you want done unto you It's time to go inward and take a look at me Try to make some sense of life's illusions that I see And try to solve the riddle of what it is I have to offer to this world
