Distractions

written by Jeremy Haddad

I never needed anything at all

Everything I thought I wanted was just a distraction

And now the time as come for me to jump

But all I was prepared for was the fall

I put away all my fears and all my follies

Left behind the old ragged man I knew

Took my key my curiosity and my six string

There was only one thing left to do

Just one song to set my spirit free

Just one step and I begin my journey

Just one wing to feel like I can fly

Just one life to live before I die

So slow down and take a look around

Just enjoy the simplicity

If the sky were falling, or the angels were calling

It wouldn’t mean a damn thing to me

Sometime life feels better when you’re living for whatever

And you make the paths you take without a map

And sometimes words or louder when you’re singing on a mountain

And not thinking about when you’re going back

The worlds a little lighter when you leave the past behind ya

Moving on means learning how to love

So take my hand come with me, show me what I’m missing

I don’t need to live for who I was
