And I bet that I would make a lot of changes
If I could see myself through the eyes of a stranger
Time slows down moves slower than a glacier
With every imperfection that’s embedded in my nature
Well the more that things change well the more they stay they same
Got a thousand ways to talk and a million things to say
While I formulate the phrase let it travel in a wave
Only one thought that keeps circling the brain
Are you listening while I work my words into positioning
Of all predicaments I’m still working on my conditioning
The stress rests on my shoulders makes me feel older
Accomplishing everything that you hope for
Walking the path between cash always hustling over
Moving fast makes your heart grow colder
Wintertime in the mind but I keep the summer shine in appearance
Grew wings from the spine got denied for the clearance
Stay down to earth sharing time with the spirits
I could pick a host and then mirror the image
But I’m into making a difference into making it different
Self appointed the mission 'til I’m lit for ignition
And I bet that I would make a lot of changes
If I could see myself through the eyes of a stranger
Time slows down moves slower than a glacier
With every imperfection that’s embedded in my nature
I find the essences I climb the fences
To backyards like track stars through exits
But Lord it’s been getting so hard
I’ll be waiting for the day when it breaks through the dark
And so far I’ve been getting so far
I’ll be waiting for the train when it breaks through the smog
Fire burns strong
Embers turn to fireflies to shooting stars
I close my eyes and watch it all transcending
Swallow Hell take a breath and spit Heaven
Past the atmosphere in deep concentration
Swallow stars by the mouth full spit constellations
Sit in the dark with mischievous thoughts
Then I put them on paper till I pick them apart
Put them back together feel a sting in my heart
Then I relax get better so I can finish the song
And I bet that I would make a lot of changes
If I could see myself through the eyes of a stranger
Time slows down moves slower than a glacier
With every imperfection that’s embedded in my nature
