Could have been a better man A better lover and a better friend I could have been what I was told to be Could have been what you wanted to But I never do the things I should Will I become what I have been all along It takes time to find your life And a life to find that time It takes as little as we know It takes passion, it takes peace Fights and disbelief But where life leads you, you must go Could have been a poet or Simply be the boy next door Off to war, a soldier smoking roses I have had my money's worth Bought and sold and feinted hurt But destiny is the ground beneath our feet It takes time to find your life And a life to find that time It takes as little as we know It takes passion, it takes peace Fights and disbelief But where life leads you, you must go When it all comes down When it all blows up When the choices have been made When it all blows up When it all comes down It takes time to find your life And a life to find that time It takes as little as we know It takes passion, it takes peace Fights and disbelief But where life leads you, you must go
