Description
This track is about reaching a crossroad; examining one's life and evaluating choices and decisions.
THE LIGHT THAT MADE ME BLIND
A younger version of me
Who wasn’t completely free
Invited me to see
A choice I did not make
And as I gazed intently
Where this choice of mine had sent me
I hungered for a way
To bring me back that day
So that I could choose again
Because in this choice of mine
I had left the light behind
The light that made me blind
To think that money matters
And as I walked away
The chains began to shatter
But that was long ago
So long ago as though
I didn’t choose that choice
Now I’m driving this Rolls Royce
So accustomed to these chains
I only feel them when it rains
As the raindrops hit the pane
So I hang my head in shame
Oh, how wonder who’s insane
Is it the beggar with his bane
Or the top hat with his cane?
If only I could choose again
Because in this choice of mine
I had left the light behind
The light that made me blind
To think that money matters
And as I walked away
These chains began to shatter
