MY FAMILY HANDED DOWN TRADITION, I CHOOSE TO PASS IT BY.

I HAD IN MIND A NEW RENDITION OF HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE,

I NEW THE ROAD OF LEAST RESISTANCE , DIDN'T JUSTIFY EXISTANCE

IT ONLY PAVED THE WAY FOR A SOFTER FALL.



** SO, WIN OR LOOSE I HAD NO CHOICE ,

BUT TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE

THAT SAID, BOY GIVE IT ALL THAT YOU CAN GIVE

YOU CAN LET YOUR LIFE PASS YOU BY

OR YOU CAN LIVE .



SITTIN IN A WICKER ROCKER SHINING IN THE SHADE,

SHE REMEMBERED JUST FOR ME ALL HER GLORY DAYS

THEN SHE PAUSED AND FOUGHT HER TEARS

SHE SAID SHE FLEW RIGHT THROUGH THOSE YEARS

AND NOW THE DAYS THEY CRAWL ON ONE BY ONE



SHE SAID, **



NO EXCUSE NEEDS NO REPLY

WE LIVE EACH DAY AS IT GOES BY

AND IN THE END WE'VE BEEN A SPECK IN TIME
