| Everyone makes choices
|
| But I can’t say which is right
|
| And everyone makes promises
|
| And only meant to lie
|
| And I don’t know what to do
|
| And I don’t know just what to say anymore
|
| This is my life and times
|
| Lying down in darkness
|
| With my ear against the door
|
| I closed my eyes and caught
|
| A fleeting glimpse and wanted more
|
| Of the life that struck my soul
|
| With feelings too great to ignore
|
| But this is my life and times
|
| The seconds turn to days
|
| And now I’m older
|
| And I know it’s time for me to start anew
|
| But I buckle from the weight
|
| That’s on my shoulders
|
| And I need someone to help me through
|
| Daddy couldn’t speak to me
|
| Before he ceased to live
|
| Although he held his hands to me
|
| My eyes could not forgive
|
| All the pain that they had seen
|
| And hoped my mind would not relive
|
| But this is my life and times |
