honest songs, honestly sung

This hand-drawn image is inspired by Letter to a Young Poet, written by William Carlos Williams, in which he describes how all our efforts as writers and as men must be to release the enchained dragon within us.

Make Good

I’m going to stand here, show you who I am
Tell you the truth, the best I can
And you may not like what you see
But who knows, might fall in love with me
I don’t really care which way the wind blows
As long as it carries my song

Today is the day that I define myself
Refine myself like a man should
Today is the day that I define myself
I’ve been making promises, now it’s time to make good

Yesterday I measured myself
Against the man I think I am
Big surprise I came up short
I’m doing the best I can
Doesn’t matter anyway, because
As soon as I’m measured, I’ve changed

Today is the day that I define myself
Refine myself like a man should
Today is the day that I define myself
I’ve been making promises, now it’s time to make good
