about

I wrote Justified as a young adult while coming to terms with the dynamic of life and my changing roles. Decades later I have found the song to be just as relevant as the seasons of life continue to change.

lyrics

Justified

It seems like years since it was yesterday
When all the stars were in the sky
We walked along together, didn’t seem to mind the weather
And laughed at time as life went by

And it seems like years since we were justified
A simple scholar in the woods
We climbed our hills we called them mountains they were contemplary
If only we had understood

And it seems like years since we were justified

And my life falls down, streams of paper everywhere
The wind blows on and on

Could I walk along with B? Could it be inside of me?
Could I ever really leave justified?

Will my answers ever breathe? Could they bleed so easily?
Will I ever really be justified?

And all the stories I’ve told are justifiable.
And all the words I’d ever know are wrong

And every season I can’t help myself
The air just pulls my eyes towards sunrise
The light reminds me of the gentle waters I have come from
and rocks that fade through evening's tide
