I was out there in the open
Like a tumbleweed blowing
Flowing like a trickling stream
Just waiting on the rain
Couldn't get a dam to break
To get me rolling again
But a perfect storm
White lightning in the wind
When a flood came rushing in
All that time wasted in a wasteland
Was it part of the plan?
To make me the man I am
Lookin back it all makes perfect sense
Sunshine outta misery
Yesterday's memories
I'm not saying we're all the same
But I had to get lost to find my way
Like a burned out set of matches
I was run down and ragged
Unravelling at the seams
Somewhere in the distance
Like a castaway drifting
I found my kinda free
All that time wasted in a wasteland
It was part of the plan?
To make me the man I am
Lookin back it all makes perfect sense
Sunshine outta misery
Yesterday's memories
I'm not saying we're all the same
But I had to get lost to find my way
There's no regret in the long haul
Guess I had it right after all
Cause all that time wasted in a wasteland
It was part of the plan
To make me the man I am
Lookin back it all makes perfect sense
Sunshine out of misery
Yesterdays memories
I'm not saying we're all the same
But I had to get lost to find my way
I'm not saying we're all the same
But I had to get lost to find my way
