Time To Go Inward

It's time to go inward, take a look at myself
 Time to make the most of the time that I've got left
 Prison bars imagined are no less solid steel
 ♪
 Time to go inward, would you believe that I'm afraid
 To stare down the barrel of the choices that I've have made
 The ghost of bad decisions make mountains out of everything I feel
 ♪
 Outside my window, the wind weaves a path through the trees
 The moon takes a shine to the shadows that fall on the leaves
 ♪
 It's time to go inward, hmm
 I don't know if I can do it after all that I've become
 I've been a fool for money but it's vanity that always leaves me flat
 
 It's time to go inward, man, I hope I have the nerve
 To take an inventory of the causes that I serve
 They say a man without a conscience is like a man without a country or somethin' like that
 ♪
 It's time to go inward, time to be still
 If I don't do it now, I don't believe I ever will
 My mind is like a chatterbox whose noise pollutes the pathways to my soul
 ♪
 Time to go inward, time to get a grip
 Time to put an end to one long bad acid trip
 I'm all out of excuses now for the way I've let my choices take a toll
 
 Jesus and Buddha and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew
 To do unto others the things you want done unto you
 
 It's time to go inward and take a look at me
 Try to make some sense of life's illusions that I see
 And try to solve the riddle of what it is I have to offer to this world
