The writing prompt was learn.
You took me for a ride
I don’t know why
I never saw it coming
I must have been blind
To the ravens in the sky
And the sound of the drumming
I tried to say the right words
Didn’t know what they were
Missed opportunities
And the lessons learned
It’s a good thing
That whatever life brings
It comes back around
And it’s a good thing
That when the bell rings
You know the sound
Just around the corner
From all of the chances burned
The missed opportunities
And the lessons learned
If I could have known then
What I know now
If I could turn back time somehow
That’s why the wheel turns
Missed opportunities
And the lessons learned

I really loved "I must have been blind to the ravens in the sky and the sound of the drumming". Evil portends indeed to have missed. Enjoyed this!

You've got a gift for finding hooks in unlikely places, my friend. "Missed opportunities and the lessons learned" is going to be stuck in my ear all day. Keeper for sure!

Oh yeah, I hear a rocker in there. An opportunity for a drummer and bass player to pump this up. It's a good lyric and a keeper. Good job.

I agree with songmistress, those were my favorite lines too, but the whole thing was really well written and performed. I like the "it's a good thing" lines that give a lift to the message. I really enjoyed listening. Very nice!!

Love the line about ravens in the sky.. some good lyrics and the song is really relatable .
@songmistress Feb 2022
My favourite lines: ‘I must’ve been blind to the ravens in the sky and the sound of drumming.’ Very relatable. Reminds me of some of Stevie Jones and the Wildfires’ songs.

Great hook. Remorseful with a dash of hope. Great performance nice sounding tune. Well done.
@jtsteam Feb 2022
Nice! Definitely relatable... hopefully we all learn from experience, as you say, "it's a good thing that whatever life brings it comes back around"

What I know now
If I could turn back time somehow"
