In Praise of Reason I: Metanoia by The Great City Lyrics
"When I first learned that
I was going to die, I just
Didn't want to accept it
I was so angry all the time and I
Struck out at everyone I loved most
Especially you, James
That’s why I understand
If you do hate me
But I want you to
Know this, James
I'll always love you
Even though our life together had
To end like this, I still wouldn't
Trade it for the world. We had
Some wonderful years together
Well, this letter has gone on
Too long, so I’ll say goodbye
I told the nurse to give
This to you after I'm gone
That means that as you read
This, I'm already dead."
I was going to die, I just
Didn't want to accept it
I was so angry all the time and I
Struck out at everyone I loved most
Especially you, James
That’s why I understand
If you do hate me
But I want you to
Know this, James
I'll always love you
Even though our life together had
To end like this, I still wouldn't
Trade it for the world. We had
Some wonderful years together
Well, this letter has gone on
Too long, so I’ll say goodbye
I told the nurse to give
This to you after I'm gone
That means that as you read
This, I'm already dead."
