From the recording I Rest My Case
Lyrics
I REST MY CASE
Remember the night I so righteously gave this advice
There could be no happiness without sacrifice
Little did I know then those words were aimed straight at me
I thought I was so wise to see what any fool could see
Well, now I see
And I rest my case, God bless my soul
I risked it all to grab the whole
Hoping to find a better place
It took its toll, God bless my soul, I rest my case
Taking the safe and sure highway was never my style
But would it have been such a sin to just stay awhile
And now I'm looking back with such bittersweet delight
Since it no longer matters which one was wrong and which was right
At least not tonight
I rest my case, God bless my soul
I risked it all to grab the whole
Hoping to find a better place
It took its toll, God bless my soul, I rest my case
Even knowing what my life would one day bring
I don't believe I'd change a single thing
'Cause every step has brought me to this place
I hear your voice -- I see your face
I rest my case
And now my words are coming back to me
There's none so blind as one who will not see
Well, now I see
And I rest my case, God bless my soul
I risked it all to grab the whole
Hoping to find a better place
It took its toll, God bless my soul, I rest my case
I rest my case, that's all I know
No looking back, just letting go
Now that I found a better place
It took its toll, God bless my soul
I risked it all to grab the whole
It took its toll, God bless my soul
I rest my case.
