Growing up I knew a man that to me fit this image... |
I walk on the path less traveled Don't want to fit in with the crowd Wouldn't be me I'd come unraveled Not this man he was way too proud I'll stay in the thicket and out of sight You will never see me as I pass on by No left turns here they will all be right Cause I don't bleed and I don't cry Or drag my feet like those who are lazy No I can see the light and feel the rain It don't impair my vision or make it hazy Most will take the bus I will take the train And be the first to cross the finish line But what I win is something I'll never know Atleast I am a winner in my own mind Cause It's true you reap what you sow So you be the reason I live my life right I'll give respect and expect the same If I think your wrong be ready for a fight I don't have much but I got my name My word is my word believe what I say But I question the words you've spoken And I'll remember the liars tonight as I pray It's their name and respect that will be broken So I keep working and doing the right thing Pick up my cards and play the hand I'm dealt And be ready for challenges my life will bring I,m sorry since birth this is the way I've felt So learn and pass this on to your next generation Then like you they can hold their head up high And do as they please and need no explanation Then rise each day and live life under a blue sky |
