Lyrics As I walk down the road With my head and my soul in my arms again I start to seriously wonder if I’ll ever be able to get back again It perplexes my heart that I can’t remember the start or even why I began So I circle once more, search for the parallel door and try to understand Why my memory has holes in particular those of the pleasurable Have I become so inept that my very next step seems so immeasurable? Then I silently shout; “What’s this crisis about? And why can’t I just be satisfied with the rich & wonderful life I’ve seen?” I try to get up once more but instead fall through the floor Through the cracks in between Oh, noone knows the trouble that I have seen Please help me, Sister Josephine A change in the tempo to find where to begin The rhythm of life is coming back again A little more action, a little less shame A little more passion that the song remains the same A change in the temple that’s the place to begin The theory of life will be coming back again A little more passion, a little less pain Of fortune and glory that song we’ll rearrange And if I ever become human again and worthy of friends Could I? Should I? Would I ever get to see you again? Composition © 2008 Ric Albano Publication © 2009, 2011 Cygnus Wave Music	Song Info Composed on August 8, 2008 Recorded starting on August 10, 2009 at Saturation Acres (II), DuPont, PA Produced by Ric Albano Engineered by Bret Alexander Mixed and Mastered in 2009 at Cygnus Wave Studios Released: September 9, 2009 on Imaginary Lines 33 Performers Ric Albano Piano, Keyboards, Bass, Vocals Ron Simasek Drums Listener Guide Grade Analysis: This would be a great song except for the weak (and weird) keyboard lead in the middle. It starts with a long rap-like funk through its first verse but soon morphs into a calmer, more reflective style for the duration. Song Trivia Sister Josephine was Ric Albano’s first grade teach at catholic school in the mid 1970s.
