Nobody Knows Better Than Me
Time's been my teacher
along the great road
his lessons are thorough
but his methods are slow
takes almost a lifetime to reveal
what he shows
and nobody
knows better than me
I've been a vagabond,
I've been a Rogue,
I've been pushed out and moved on
and done worse I suppose
but the strength of a man's
in his depth of resolve
and nobody
knows better than me
And I still believe the ideals of my youth
let them call me naiive
let them call me a fool
if you don't believe
doesn't mean it's untrue
to learn that you rise as you fall
the saint and the sinner in us all
and nobody,
knows better than me
My journeys not over,
though I've come quite a ways
leave them all smiling as I exit the stage
because truth and forgiveness are all that remain
and nobody,
knows better than me
And I still believe the ideals of my youth
let them call me naiive
let them call me a fool
if you don't believe
doesn't mean it's ain't true
and learn that you rise as you fall
the saint and the sinner in us all
and nobody,
knows better than me
