Why Didn't I Think of That Before

You scratch your head .. you glance around
You look up .. and you look down
You turn hard right .. and then turn left
Just to see which way feels the best
cnd when you're finally.. all tired out
Tryin' to figure out .. what this life's about
cnd you stop thinkin' about .. yourself
cnd do some little thing for somebody else
You'll say thank you .. thank you Lord
Why didn't I think of that before
You think your smart .. and mostly right
cll your dreams .. play in black and white
cnd when someone hints .. a middle ground
You've got your list of ways .. to slam him down
cnd when you're finally .. all tired out
Of tryin' to think about .. what this life's about
cnd you stop thinkin' about .. yourself
cnd do some little thing for somebody else

You'll say thank you .. thank you Lord
Why didn't I think of that before

cnd your friends.. they're on the other side
But the troops keep chargin' in
cnd someone taps you .. on the shoulder
cnd says tell me son where have you been
cnd when you're finally .. all tired out
Of tryin' to think about .. what this life's about
cnd you stop thinkin' about.. yourself
cnd do that little thing for somebody else
You will say thank you .. thank you Lord
Why didn't i think of that before
cnd Glory Glory .. what is your story
Glory Glory .. what is your story
Have you stumbled in the darkness .. have you finally reached the shore
Why didn't I think of that before
