I Just Had To Let It Go

The journey of recovery has moved me away from material pursuits and seeking instant gratification.

These are now secondary to the adventure of trying to make the world a better place.

Watching the Wheels

People say I'm crazy
doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings
to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k. well
they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now
you no longer play the game,

 

People say I'm lazy
dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice
designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing fine
watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy
you're no longer on the ball?

 

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels
go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,

by John Lennon

People asking questions
   lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads
   and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,

 

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels
   go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.
