The picture is almost complete now
Choices seem painfully clear
I must undo the work of the Reaper
To replay so many lost years
The time that he squandered
On failures and losses
The life that he should have enjoyed
A chance to fulfil
His potential and skills
The time of his life by the force of my will
As Death's power tempts me
To reverse this legacy
Voices sound soft in my head
It could be a jukebox or the car stereo
Or the King of the Beacon instead
Who is the man
That you think I am
Is this cartoon supposed to be me?
Remember both sides
Not just sweetness and light
I was double the man that you've seen
There's always been sunshine, to balance the darkness
Victories balance defeats
No, he's your king and your beacon!
I've struggled and strived
But that's part of the process
My tragedy isn't so great
And yes there's regrets
But just like Ol' Blue Eyes
I'm not one to dwell on mistakes
Failures and loss are just part of deal
Death's picture is incomplete
Go! Call on Lazarus
Return life to the dust
Bring back the best of us
You should never go back or walk round in circles
Even if you can't find the best way forward
