"If I Get It Right" lyrics

Staring in the mirror, hundred thoughts a minute
But all I want to know is, am I really who I say?
I think I know the answer but I got more questions
Like what is the true right way?

Crossroads behind me, thousand more in front
They keep on coming, making sure we don't forget
There'll be more mountains, rivers and valleys
Waiting out on the road ahead
Waiting out on the road ahead

And every time I really feel alive and I know myself
It's 'cause I'm dreaming of the simple life and no one else
Yeah maybe only time will tell if I get it right
If I get it right

Everybody's running, million miles an hour
If life was a race, I would be the dead last one
Nobody's patient, there's no more waiting
Whatever happened to a steadfast love?

Every time I really feel alive and I know myself
It's 'cause I'm dreaming of the simple life and no one else
Yeah maybe only time will tell if I get it right
If I get it right

Sometimes I wonder why we build
A life that's filled with things we leave behind
I want to understand the reason why
We make a mess of humankind

I found a little house hidden in the hills
Everything I want is in front of me
Don't need no downtown, don't need no telephone
Yeah I got all I need, you know I got all I need

Every time I really feel alive and I know myself
It's 'cause I'm dreaming of the simple life and no one else
Yeah maybe only time will tell
I said no one else
Maybe only time will tell
If I get it right
If I get it right
