Jim played piano in a band called Angry Witness Out to fight the system in the fall of '81 Like all his friends, he felt peace, could behead for the asking It was just a matter of convincing the old ones They broke up on John and Yoko's anniversary Went separate ways like most bands do Same old frustration when they saw the times were not a-changing Jim warmed up to the cold hard truth Jim plays piano, a simple weekend warrior At a cozy little mad spot just a few blocks from his home He wakes up every morning, has breakfast with his children Sweet wife smiling at him, thinks how good my life's become This past Thursday was the 14th anniversary Owned their own sweet home since '92 Monday through Friday he sells those new lots off the highway Read from the door, red, white and blue Sometimes he wonders how did one man get so lucky And what happened to his anger and his vow to heal the world In just over two decades he has watched the earth revolving Now just simple problem solving, twenty years and change How long did I love you before my heart stopped breaking? Since the night I stood there shaking when you ran out of my life Now I think it's time I told you, even if you show no interest How I came to feel forgiveness and finally set things right It was twenty years, two months and five days this December You wiped your shoes off on my heart Far too realistic to betray a kid so idealistic Flames of faith put out in the dark Then one cold morning, a real live frosty Friday I turned to the pain beside me and I realized it was gone I tore up all your pictures, never thinking you might find me Time to put that junk behind me and wonder why it took so long Now here you stand on what would be our anniversary Telling me how tough life's been on you No satisfaction for I realized we've lost all attraction Moving on is all that's left to do God, I feel so foolish for what seemed so devastating And the love I had for hating was a tragic waste of time Somehow I feel like laughing with that free weight lifted from me Oh, how wisdom does become me, twenty years and change
