Lyrics
Tick tock, another day gone
A single year can bring a big change
I’m marking time that’s picking up speed
We trade our truths as we feel the need
I’m just a man hoping for a chance
Looking for my razor and a good pair of pants
I bought a new hat ‘cause I’m headed for the cold
To ponder where I’m at, what I bought and sold
Every unhappy ending can offer a new beginning
And every disparity can lead to some clarity
Feeling my way through time & doubt
Might be on the road to figuring it out
I'm getting ready to start that first mile
Toward acceptance, away from denial
I’m just a man hoping for a chance
To break that endless chain and bad circumstance
I’ll leave that fog behind and move into the clear
Sharpen up my focus, nothing left to fear
Every unhappy ending can offer a new beginning
And every disparity can lead to some clarity
I’m just a man hoping for a chance
Looking for my razor and a bit of romance
I bought a new hat ‘cause I’m headed for the cold
To ponder where I’m at, what I bought and sold
I’m on my way, no need for your charity
To open my mind, to some overdue Clarity.
