This song was inspired by a talented friend of mine who had a bad day last week.

I always knew what I was
I always knew where I belonged
I always knew what my gift was
To have the world sing my songs

There's a picture of what I was
It's there hanging on the wall
Can't go back to what I used to be
So I'll take my tune and carry on

I will carry the past
And this old guitar I have
But I will scoop up the present
And drink it in a glass
And carry on making memories that last

And when the time seems to shatter
And I'm up against the wall
Stuck in this mind's prison
But the world still hears my song

So I will carry the past
And this old guitar I have
But I will scoop up the present
And drink it in a glass and carry on making memories that last

Well I'm as good as I ever was
And I'm not ashamed to say
That there is more in me to give
Than many others in my way

Chorus
