Week 31 - Price Of Admission (08​-​02​-​17)

from Song A Week, Volume 2 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Oh the price of admission is that now you know the score
Gotta’ honor the difference from the way it was before
And the price of admission is the choice to make a change
One by one move the pieces ‘til it don’t all look so strange

Now the price of admission is finally letting go
Of the what made you so angry and you didn’t even know
That the price of admission is the time to face the facts
Solve the simple equation that always held you back

Well the price of admission is forgiveness in even when
You’re in pain and don’t wanna’ take the time to be a friend
So the price of admission it ain’t based on how you feel
More like if you can focus on accepting what is real

No the price of admission doesn’t increase or decline
There is no way around it over under or behind
Yes the price of admission will be waiting for the day
There’s a break in the weather and the fears all fall away

We always cross our wires
You’re preaching to the choir
So wait ‘til you’re inspired
And jump into the fire

Hey the price of admission might be less than you expect
Just imagine the freedom from that cross around your neck
Pay the price of admission and you’ll be grateful that you did
Or forever your heart will wonder how much peace it could have had
