Jim played piano in a band called Angry WitnessOut to fight the system in the fall of '81Like all his friends, he felt peace, could behead for the askingIt was just a matter of convincing the old onesThey broke up on John and Yoko's anniversaryWent separate ways like most bands doSame old frustration when they saw the times were not a-changingJim warmed up to the cold hard truthJim plays piano, a simple weekend warriorAt a cozy little mad spot just a few blocks from his homeHe wakes up every morning, has breakfast with his childrenSweet wife smiling at him, thinks how good my life's becomeThis past Thursday was the 14th anniversaryOwned their own sweet home since '92Monday through Friday he sells those new lots off the highwayRead from the door, red, white and blueSometimes he wonders how did one man get so luckyAnd what happened to his anger and his vow to heal the worldIn just over two decades he has watched the earth revolvingNow just simple problem solving, twenty years and changeHow long did I love you before my heart stopped breaking?Since the night I stood there shaking when you ran out of my lifeNow I think it's time I told you, even if you show no interestHow I came to feel forgiveness and finally set things rightIt was twenty years, two months and five days this DecemberYou wiped your shoes off on my heartFar too realistic to betray a kid so idealisticFlames of faith put out in the darkThen one cold morning, a real live frosty FridayI turned to the pain beside me and I realized it was goneI tore up all your pictures, never thinking you might find meTime to put that junk behind me and wonder why it took so longNow here you stand on what would be our anniversaryTelling me how tough life's been on youNo satisfaction for I realized we've lost all attractionMoving on is all that's left to doGod, I feel so foolish for what seemed so devastatingAnd the love I had for hating was a tragic waste of timeSomehow I feel like laughing with that free weight lifted from meOh, how wisdom does become me, twenty years and change
