• Sometimes life gets in the way
    That’s the price you have to pay
    Please your mother, douse the fire
    Grow, aspire, don’t dare tire
    And your dad? He holds the key
    To pain and joy and misery
    Keep your pride son, move along
    You’re the bard and life’s your song
    I’ll be here when shadows fall
    On the days you’re two feet tall
    And nothing seems like it’s enough
    I’ll be here when things get rough
    And when all that is said and done
    You will be the only one
    To take the leap and run the mile
    Now the man and past the child
    Come you then, surpass your kin
    Let your life begin.
