Appreciation Lyrics & Chords By Canasta

Wasted my days
So numbered, so few
Wish I'd been warned
So much work left to do

Frying some eggs
I'd picked up that day
That was the scene
When they took me away

Spiders in corners
Flies on the wall
This is my audience
They've come to see

The man who'll be changing
The outside from inside
Maybe, just maybe
They'll appreciate me

Get a reason to see it through
Set up... Been set up by the voices that asked me to
So let 'em scoff
Then let 'em turn
Their heads when they're ready to learn

My days here are full
Fleshing out plans
Sharpening wits and strengthening hands

I don't mind the wait
The world will need time
To move beyond defining
One's worth by one's crime

You've clipped my stories
Read them in secret
One of these days
You know I will go free

I know you're out there
I'm dying to meet you
Maybe, just maybe
You'll appreciate me

Get a reason to see it through
Set up... Been set up by the voices that asked me to
So let 'em scoff
Then let 'em turn
Their heads when they’re ready to learn
