MY FUTURE SELF & ME - Lyrics

MY FUTURE SELF & ME - lyrics
(by Andy Jackson)


I WANDER DOWN THIS ROAD,
SEARCHING FOR A FUTURE FOR MYSELF,
OBSTACLES AND DETOURS, LEADING ME ASTRAY,
DRAGONS I’M TO SCARED TO SLAY,

SUDDENLY A FLASH, AND WALKING THERE BESIDE ME,
IT'S ME FROM THE FUTURE, OLD AND TWISTED BITTER,
HE LOOKED INTO MY SOUL AND WENT TO SAY...

LISTEN YOUNG ONE HERE, I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YOU,
YOU MAY THINK YOU KNOW, BUT YOU KNOW JACK SHIZZY,

IF YOU DON'T ACT NOW TO SAVE YOURSELF,
IT WILL BE ME, THAT YOU BECOME,
TWISTED, TAINTED & UNDONE,
STOP KICKING YOURSELF, AND CHANGE…

SO THE NEXT DAY, I FINALLY TAKE A RISK AND SAY,
GIVE ME A TICKET TO CATMANDO,
I STEPPED OFF THE PLANE IN ANOTHER WORLD,
THE PROBLEMS OF YESTERDAY, DISSOLVED AWAY,

SUDDENLY A FLASH, AND STANDING THERE BESIDE ME,
MY FUTURE SELF SMILED, AND TOLD ME NOW I'D SEE,
THE WORLD IS BUT A DREAM, AND WE ARE LIKE SNOWFLAKES,
PAINTING A SCENE, WE WANT TO BE BEAUTIFUL...

I FACED MANY FEARS AND WEPT MANY TEARS,
RETURNING HOME MANY YEARS, LATER....

I WALK BACK DOWN THIS ROAD, FULL OF TALES LESS TOLD,
CONTENT THAT THERE’S NO DESTINATION,
HAPPY TO BE OUT IN THE SUN,
AT PEACE WITH MYSELF AND EVERYONE,

SUDDENLY A FLASH, AND WANDERING BESIDE ME,
IT'S ME FROM LONG AGO, BRUISED AND BATTERED IN THE SOUL,
I FELT HIS WOUNDED CRIES, SO WENT TO SAY....

LISTEN YOUNG ONE HERE, I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YA,
YOU MAY THINK YOU KNOW, BUT YOU KNOW SHIZ JIZZY,
ONCE YOU'VE SAVED YOUR SOUL, YOU WILL TRAVEL THE WORLD,
AND THERE YOU WILL SEE MANY THINGS,
BUT STILL KNOW NOTHING AT ALL...

I'm sorry this is in capitals, I took it from the album inlay and they are all in capitals, so that's why. ( I have it saved on my computer as was not willing to convert it all just for you. That's the way I am, so just live with it...)
