Here's the song I wrote inspired by temperance!
by Jake Canull
Tell me, tell me who do you want to be
Thats what an old man once said to me
I told him, told him I wanna be the best
I want take 1st place, you recognize my face from all the rest
Then he asked how I measured success
I said only money can buy the best
And then I asked him what made him happy
He pulled out a picture of his family
Pre-Chorus:
He said he used to be just like me
Moving faster than he could see
So then he asked me one more time
Who do you truly want to be?
Chorus:
I said I just want to want to say
Words I can live by every day
To be the man I said I'd be
I won't act in haste, I'll break it down with patience
And just wait
He said he made a lot of mistakes
Most of them from acting in haste
He knew that I, that I would relate
He said slow down, patience makes a good man great
He told me take a step back from life
Something to make you realize
Impulsiveness and wealth in pride
Will do nothing but blind your eyes
Pre-Chorus:
He said he used to be just like me
Moving faster than he could see
So then he asked me one more time
Who do you truly want to be?
Chorus:
I just want to want to say
Words I can live by every day
To be the man I said I'd be
I won't act in haste, I'll break it down with patience
And just wait
Bridge:
What does it mean to wait?
Why must it take so long?
Why must I be so weak?
You say my will is strong
How come I don't feel strong?
Why can things go so wrong?
Until faith comes along
To remind me
To remind me
To remind me
Chorus:
I just want to want to say
Words I can live by every day
To be the man I said I'd be
I won't act in haste, I'll break it down with patience
And just wait
Best & thanks for reading,
-Jake
