Ari Hest - A Fond Farewell Lyrics
My mother once told meThe thicker your skinThe better off you'll be when this world brings you downWell it's trying to control meAnd leave me without hopeIn the past I've been burnedBut I've lived and I've learnedBeneath the shelter of the pouring rainIn the absence of this fear and painI will finally bid my ball and chainA fond farewellOn the road that leads me to my placeI will rid my heart of past disgraceI will finally bid this sluggish paceA fond farewellWhen I heard their reservationsWhen I read their bitter wordsI shined a light upon their wisdom no matter how absurdAnd it broke my heard to piecesAnd I questioned my own beliefsMy dignity was goneBut it's time to move onChorusSay goodbye to feeling sorry for myselfTo begging others for far too much helpThis is my hand, these are the cards that I've been dealtOnly I can make these changes, nobody elseSay goodbye to those sleepless nightsThose corridors with no end in sightA driven man with these words I writeI'm making peace with my soul tonightChorus
