Lyrics A Life - Talisman

A Life

momma, do u feel the pain as i’m travelin'
thru the fields of your soul
momma, please take my hand,
help me 2 understand
cuz, i’m afraid 2 face this life alone
people, faces everywhere
everytime i turn i see another stop& stare
2 much, 2 soon, take a picture
of the modern world
televisionaries, hari-kari, quite contrary
u’d think the trials of life were scary
4 a boy growin' 2 a man,
now watch my flag unfurl, good god,
the mirror on the wall shows a frightened man
the lessons i’ve learned could not explain
the meaning of love now sees thru puzzled eyes
no 1 could define the joy & the pain, i’m born again
i’d die 4 your love if u’d take me in
true life begins, as i embrace another miracle
i live 4 your love, til the day we die with no tears 2 cry,
i’ll guide u thru fear & desire, oh
all i know, in the shadows of where i’ve been
all i know, no more cares if i lose or win now i know,
as i watch my children grow now i know,
i’m fulfilling my mother’s soul all i know,
while the world is spinnin' around all i know,
& the hands of time r tickin' down now i know,
i look back 2 my days of youth
now i know, i’m much older now, but i’m not yet thru
i’m still searchin' the keys of my life
the war’s far from over inside
i died in your arms as your tears recite
our pictured life, did i fulfill my prediction
was it all i yearned 2 know, so long ago
if i had the chance 2 do it all again,
i wouldn’t change a thing
