I've Encountered Many Struggles
I've encountered many struggles
I've kicked against the flow
And I've raised my fists to heaven
With rebellion in my soul
As though those hidden ways
Were something I might know
To young to understand
It ain't me who's in control
In the middle of a daydream
On a cool midsummer's morn
With a red-head girl beside me
Something new in me was born
Though it took more than a decade
For the words to fully form
Yes, it took a very long time
And so oft I was forlorn
In the middle of emotion
I recall my long lost friends
They're gone into the woodwork
They're lost around the bend
And my heart is filled with trouble
And sorrow without end
As I think back on these lost souls
That I'll never see again
In reflections on the mirror
I hear ancestors speak
As though they haven't finished
With all they had to say to me
And I feel I've been pretending
And I'm almost moved to weep
But I see the road's unending
And I feel too much awe to speak
I've kicked against the flow
And I've raised my fists to heaven
With rebellion in my soul
As though those hidden ways
Were something I might know
To young to understand
It ain't me who's in control
In the middle of a daydream
On a cool midsummer's morn
With a red-head girl beside me
Something new in me was born
Though it took more than a decade
For the words to fully form
Yes, it took a very long time
And so oft I was forlorn
In the middle of emotion
I recall my long lost friends
They're gone into the woodwork
They're lost around the bend
And my heart is filled with trouble
And sorrow without end
As I think back on these lost souls
That I'll never see again
In reflections on the mirror
I hear ancestors speak
As though they haven't finished
With all they had to say to me
And I feel I've been pretending
And I'm almost moved to weep
But I see the road's unending
And I feel too much awe to speak
