Story behind the song
One day it hit me that I wasn't even close to where I thought I'd be by now, and I wasn't sure how I'd gotten so sidetracked. The thought disturbed me so much I asked myself out loud, "didn't I wish for something more than this?" And a song was born.
Lyrics
Didn't I wish for something, a little more Was my wishful thinking stained? What I'm left with, shards of reality Damaged, broken, wrapped in shame I've been carrying this around in my heart so many years And the vision is fraught with my failure and my fears If I stray from the path that you laid for me, Will my rebellion cause you grief? If I follow where my heart would lead, Will I find my soul's release? I've been carrying this around in my heart so many years And it's time to do away with my failure and my fears (solo) Didn't I wish for something, a little more Than this absent life I've claimed? If I follow where my heart would lead, Will I finally be redeemed?
