lyrics

I was feeling pretty good
About who I was and all the things that I'd done
Feeling quite accomplished
About what I'd built and all the awards I had won
But then something happened that derailed me
And I caught a glimpse of an awful sight
It was me looking back in the mirror
Me in an unflattering light

In the middle of everything I woke up to who I am
In the middle of everything
I saw myself, said, "No thank you ma'am"

Everything I knew seemed meaningless
All I'd made just so much junk
Behind the big man was a frightened child
A tree without a trunk
How did this happen
How could I not see
How could I not be all that I was cracked up to be
I was important
Held in high esteem
Now it's all nothing, nothing but a dream

Is it too late for me to change
God I hope I can
Is it too late for me to change
Is there time to be a good man
