Neil Rosengarden: Recordings

The One I Always Wanted To Be

We used to sit in the park and drink wine
Now I see you at the meetings all the time
Isn’t it a funny thing
A direction that I thought I’d never go
Is leading me to the one I always wanted to be

We used to swallow what ever went by
Now we’re careful with what we take inside
Isn’t it a funny thing
A direction that I thought I’d never go
Is leading me to the one I always wanted to know

Instead of falling down you’re falling in love
Instead of jumping around we’ll be standing tall

Instead of falling down you’re falling in love
Instead of jumping around we’ll be standing tall

We never thought we’d make it this long
It doesn’t matter in the spiritual world
Isn’t it a funny thing
A direction that I thought I’d never go
Is leading me to the one I always wanted to be
Always wanted to be
