If I had wealth enough to buy the world
it would not change a thing. Some joys it could not bring
But something I always meant to do
and something I've never done
is give you every thing I've got. The answers I never gave you
But this time I'll make it work
This time's for keeps
I know it's been too much
Could not have been much harder
Such a selfish man was I. No small wonder you would cry
But of everything I have done through the years. The various and sundry
The most important of them all. The only thing that matters
is this time to make it right
This time you'll see.
I'm hoping you'll find a faith in me so you that can trust me
Can't guarantee the smoothest quest
but I promise you I will try my best
Somehow I hope you will find
that I'm a better person
Not the one who made you sad
but another soul who can make you glad
that this time the best will come
this time for real.
