Workin' On A Better Me

“Workin’ On a Better Me”

 

I can’t say that I regret a single day

And everything that I have done along the long, long way

But I know I’ve talked a great big talk

And sometimes tripped when I have walked away

 

I look at where I’ve been, the places that I’ve seen

And the perfect person I have never, ever, ever been

But I've reconciled my rights from my wrongs

I've taught my will to bend, and that is how I've broken free

So every day, you just keep on workin' on it

Everyday, you gotta keep on workin' on it

Everyday, you goota keep on workin' on a better you

Everyday, you gotta keep on workin' on it

Everyday, you gotta keep on workin' on it

Everyday, you get to keep on workin' on a better you

And I'll keep on workin' on a better me

When I am lost, I know it’s just a camouflage

As I find my way, when I think of where I was

When I was clear about the truth and I didn't blame it on my youth

Like this person in the mirror sometimes does

I look at who I’ve known, and those whom have come and gone

I could sing a bitter,"how I miss my loved ones" song

But I've learned to smile instead, and remember what they said

That life is short so don't you get it wrong

 

And everyday, you just keep on workin' on it

Everyday, you gotta keep on workin' on it

Everyday, you  gotta keep on workin on a better you

Everyday, you gotta keep on workin' on it

Everyday, you gotta keep on workin' on it

Everyday, you  gotta keep on workin on a better you

And I'll keep on workin' on a better me

I love this song! Have you recorded it by chance? I felt the music flowing through me as I sang it to myself. It's absolutely wonderful! Well done!

*Welcome to "Pure Rhymes" Thanks for joining, great to have you...!*

A spirited lyrical progression of faith in self... I know it is a camouflage... But hey... Keep bein' a better me...

[JC]

definitely has a song feel to it, do you usually turn them into songs? would be a very uplifting anthem-ic song if so. i dig the old country blues and write folk stuff. really enjoyed the read.

Thank you. It is a song! I write country music (Linda Ronstadt, Miranda Lambert and Loretta Lynn mix)

[JC]
