Mort Greenbaum and the Palm Beach Players - Past Life

I was a hero in a past life
But now I can't even save myself
I was a soldier in a past life
But now my gun is back on the shelf

I was so cool back in a past life
But now I drink at home, and I'm all alone
I was so cool back in a past life
Well hey, at least I got a job

Well everyone's moving, I'm standing still
It seemed that was always the case
Everyone's moving
I'm metamorphizing
Into something real, into something raw
Into something new, into something strong
Into something green, into something bold
Something I can feel, something I can hold
Well something beautiful yeah

I will do something with my new life
Waking up in the day, smiling at the sun
I will do something with my new life
It's all in my hands, I don't need anyone

Well everyone's moving, I'm standing still
It seemed that was always the case
Everyone's moving
I'm metamorphizing
Into something real, into something raw
Into something new, into something strong
Into something green, into something bold
Something I can feel, something I can hold
Well something beautiful

Well I'll do what I want, yeah I'll give it a shot
Yeah I'll do what I want, yeah I'll give it a shot
I'll give myself a shot, I'm giving myself a shot
Because I'm beautiful, yeah
