about

Whew, nice to write a real song after a while.

Reverend Lindsley once commented on one of my songs (can't remember which) that I was really trying to be nice, but was still kind of a d***. This is another one of those songs (but I'm even nicer now).

lyrics

v1:
A bit about me? I'm pretty good with faces
but if you tell me your name, I might forget
Ain't been to Spain, but I've seen so many places
Thought I'd travel the world, but it hasn't happened yet

ch:
I try to be kind, and I do my best to find
the one little thing that might bring you joy
Sometimes I fall, but that ain't all
I'll find the nearest spirit to destroy

v2:
I'm getting better, at least I tell myself
I could use a little help, I'll probably turn it down
Check out the weather, here in mid-September
I should remember to spread some love around

ch:
I try to be kind, and I do my best to find
the one little thing that might bring you joy
Sometimes I fall, but that ain't all
I'll find the nearest spirit to destroy

-- some sort of bridge --

v3:
A bit about me? I used to worry that I'd fail
I've got dozens of mistakes that I'm proud to call mine
Now I know that wonder will prevail
if I let it, and I let it... most of the time

ch:
I try to be kind, and I do my best to find
the one little thing that might bring you joy
Sometimes I fall, but I'll get up, even if I crawl
and lay out my pride to destroy
