Finding An Answer

Written by David McLean

I made a choice many years ago
To make a life with family and friends
To me it meant I had to make a break
from a life giving little in the end

After all, when its all said and done
Is it fame and money all you've won?
Could it be a child on a mothers breast
That brings to you life's greatest test?

Chorus
Finding an answer is hard when you don't know how
To know what is good from what is not
From the past and what is now

To stand tall and strong like a tree
Your roots must be deep in the ground
Reach deep inside and embrace your source
That feeds your life or topple down

A man that can not give after he takes what he wants
You know he wears a thorny crown
to freely give what you work so hard to get
Comes from somewhere deep and strong

Chorus
Finding an answer is hard when you don't know how
To know what is good from what is not
From the past and what is now

I made a choice many years ago
To make a life with family and friends...
