"...But my best-laid plans slipped right through my hands... ...It was all with the best of_ intentions." ~ Travis tritt

Intentions

intentions are never meant to be anything but the best
like promises are never meant not to be upheld
like friendships are never meant to lose connection
like war is never meant to be declaired between two nations

the best is what we always think
what we we always want
to give anything less would be just wrong

but there are wars and rumors of wars just look at our great nation
and there is lose to our connection or why the hesitation
and upholding promises that we never meant is like trying to hold
a slab of cement
and even the best of intentions will some how turn out the worst

so lets stop the pretending, we already know what it costs
to keep intending for false relations or something other than truth
for arguments must be setteled
and wars must be won
and lessons of life by making mistakes surely must be learned

like trust must be earned
like fire must be burned
like the tide must be turned
that is what they intend

they never intend to mis lead you
or to set the town ablaze
they never intend to crash down in a mighty tidle wave
they only intend what is forseen, not to cause such harm
and we've had the best of intentions all along.

but even the best is sometimes the worst
even forever can sometimes be cursed
even the silence can sometime be a scream
but its not what is intended, now is it?
