Something Right (O’Farrell / MacClancy / Seezer)

I thought my problem was an empty bowl,
until my bowl was filled.

I thought my sorrow was having to move,
until my movement stilled.

I thought my fear was of the dark,
until I turned on the light.

I thought that I could do nothing wrong,
until I did something right.

I was dreaming I could touch the stars
when I fell out of my tree.

I was Always laughing at somebody else,
‘till the joke turned on me.

I thought my courage meant I’d never loose,
until I gave up the fight.

I thought that I could do nothing wrong,
until I did something right.

Do you ever feel wonder, but nothing to touch?
yet touched is all you feel.
I thought of a mountain as something to climb,
and not something to rise…. in me.

I thought the world was a shallow place,
’till I was lost at sea.

I thought my strength was in standing alone,
’till the ground gave beneath my feet.

And all my hopes were tied up in dreams…..
until the end of the night.

I thought that I could do nothing wrong, Until I did something right.
I thought that I could do nothing wrong, Until I did something right.
