about

words and music by Eric Gant and Timothy H. Patton

lyrics

Old friends will expect the old you.
It’s hard to accept something else.
Sometimes it takes new people
To see you for your new self.
Sometimes we do what’s expected
Because it feels good to be known.
Sometimes it takes people with no expectations
To be that into which we’ve grown.

Chorus:
Reason may falter.
Economies fall,
But if love abides,
There’s some meaning to it all.

I’ve set my intention to grow and evolve,
And it may take a change of venue.
But when I come back to the people called home
They’ll see that my journey continues.
‘Cause I’ve stepped in crazy and it clings to my shoes,
And the poignant stench of it lingers,
But I define me whatever surrounds me.
New reality is in the grasp of my fingers.

Chorus

I am my old friends who expect the old me.
I must alter my own expectations.
If I want to be who I think that I can,
I must change my internal relations.
I’ll change my world view and my sense of self
From the old me to the me of the future.
I’ll honor the now and the god within me.
I’ll be one who deserves my own nurture.

Chorus
