Right Track
The journey was tough but hey, am back
happy to find myself on the right track
Took wrong turns and pretty bad directions
and quite often chose the wrong diversions
but that's me, right twenty, wrong eighty times
have a long long list of mistakes and crimes
with mistakes is overflowing my life's sack
but despair I shall not as am on the right track
The way was laid out bare in front of me always
in fact, I was on the right path in the starting days
but then new temptations came along
veered me away for reasons wrong
fun, freedom, friends and all the 'silly' trends
my way got lost among all the curves and bends
quite silly of me to get so slack
but its OK, am now on the right track
In a way, this attitude marks my life
looking back, I've been too naive
kept making big plans but didn't realize
to act on them would've been more wise
all those huge claims proved to be mere chatter
but now I can't look back, it doesn't even matter
hope for tomorrow is what my heart doesn't lack
god bless the angels, am on the right track.
