All that shit they say,
I just realized today-
kind of gives you a callin'

you never knew.

I tried so hard before.
Thought you'd never know,
and still ain't sure,

But I hope like hell,
since it comes first-hand,
that you'll understand...

When you're given
God's creative wave-
thought I'd better behave.

Make real for you,
the dreams that
never, just never can.

What a parent feels
and can make real,
can't be understood-

Until the place he stands
is filled by the one
he hopes it will and would.

I think I fell astray,
a pariah they say.
But I laugh out loud-

Burnt my youth away.
Knew it every day.
But when you came...

I grew up too.
