“I know this room / I've walked this floor…”
Recognition.
“…I did my best / It wasn't much…”
There is a danger in superlativity becoming so accustomed that it is mistaken for ordinary.
“…I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch…”
Apologies are used as much for what couldn’t happen as for what wasn’t done.
“…I've told the truth / I didn't come…”
Praised be.
“…Hallelujah…”
