Manus Manum Lavat

Manus Manum Lavat

You better let the past go

Give the chance a tomorrow

The face you see now doesn't fit

You deserve more than it, no sorrow

I know you hope, and bet, and trust

The things you know, you "have"

There is much more to fill in

To better on your behalf

I can see it in her eyes

What you wouldn't at all

There isn't what you need

It's not to last, the final call

I can't reach you, and, I won't

Cling to your coat-tails anymore

I'm here to be conquered over again

Although not as easily as that time afore

I am as rich as you are, "manus manum lavat"

I'm just having something different at my disposal 

I can wait, I have the fortune smiling upon me, to gain

A considerable, concrete and not non-structural proposal

Here you are, here you go, spinning around in your catch-22

Though, I don't blame you, take your time, nevertheless be aware

Time goes by so quickly, and, it never comes back anymore, in any sort

Choose wisely, choose yourself, choose unit, but beware of whom you care

I'll be here, no matter what, or why

I'll endure every drought, any thought

I'll live my life straight forward, any speed

Aim for what I want and not for what I ought

It has taken a long time to get me where I am

It will take some another to get me where I will 

I'm peaceful, I'm ready, and I'm pretty adorable

Maybe you will forget, but remember me, still

I am your treasure, I am your fountain

Discover me, druther start right away

"You better be safe than sorry", plus

As likely as not, eventually I stay
