I wrote this song in my head over the course of a year as I walked down San Pablo Ave. in Berkeley on my way to work.

Why? Despite all my pains,
I can't change the way I am.
My mind it seldom is my friend.
And now inside a blinding light,
I'm finally where I want to be,
But it's so bright and can you see?
I'll try to pay the bills and rent.
I hope not all my money's spent.
Life's a chaos cloud.
Tomorrow I'll try to see the light.
By now I'm just too tired tonight to figure it out.
But You, You give me something to live for now.
Yeah You, You give me something to live for now.
My friend, was that the way I looked?
The way I looked from here?
Within the light it wasn't clear.
Forgive my self righteous pursuits
But keep an open mind.
The light's so bright that I went blind.
The woman that I call my own,
She's patient with this prodigal son
She's a god send now.
Thank you, my friend, you cut me slack
Because in life there's things you can't take back
and I don't know how.
But You, You give me something to live for now.
Yeah You, You give me something to live for now.
And we all want to scream and shout
Close all the blinds blot out the day
But then one day I figured it out,
to see the sun, stand in the shade
So now you know, and give it away.
You, You give me something to live for
Something to live for now.
Yeah You, You give me something to live for
Something to live for now...
