if i had been a better man - colin hay lyrics

there were kings and queens and could*have*beens
and pretenders to the throne
i was a sweet contender then
now my seeds they’ve all been sown
i scorched the earth behind me
i could have made a better plan
yeah if i had been a better man

my promises were not to keep
but thrown into the dirt
there must be more i told myself
as i b*ttoned up my shirt
well i could paint myself in glory now
and be proud of who i am
yeah i had been a bettеr man

stumbling through deep suburbs of my mind
as secrets of silencе unwind
i will sing you so long
now only love
only love makes me strong

you charity i took as mine
i claimed it as my own
i followed my ascending star
to far away from home
well i was mesmerized by shiny things
now in frozen time i stand
yeah if i had been a better man
now i’m kneeling and i’m digging deep
deep into the ground
i’m searching for my soul to keep
like a buried treasure found
in dreams i speak in ancient tongues
lost in wind and sand
yeah if only i had been a better man

- colin hay lyrics
