Thief of Joy

Many miles I have roamed
Admiring other people
Sharing stories of success
On the pinnacle of the steeple
Use what I have to build my own
See my creation as an equal
I've made mistakes at 22
Now I'm hoping for a sequel

This is a story
That I'll be moved to write
Comparison is the thief of joy
Roosevelt was right
Set your sights towards the lights
The future's looking bright
For us, for us, for you and I
For us, for us, for you and I
For us, for us, for you and I
For us, for us, for you and I

From struggling to find a peace
On a road that was heading astray
To spending more than I could share
On cigarettes that smoulder away
Then thinking of decisions that led to errors that I've made
I'm sitting here enlivened now a new journey's underway

This is a story
That I'll be moved to write
Comparison is the thief of joy
Roosevelt was right
Set your sights towards the lights
The future's looking bright
For us, for us, for you and I
For us, for us, for you and I
For us, for us, for you and I
For us, for us, for you and I
