Time Is To Blame
I said I was my own man, but I was really just a kid. Living my life not really caring
what I did. I said I had my own plans, but I didn't have a clue of what life was about or
what you were really supposed to do. So here I stand feeling older than I really 'am.
Twenty-one years and I am still learning to be a man. Twenty one years and I think I
finally have a plan...I think that I can...be who I want to be....
I never thought I would ever be in hand-cuffs. I never thought i would be addicted to
drugs. I never thought I would ever find true love. Never thought I would ever learn who I
was. Now I am sitting here inside this prison cell. My life slowly turning to a living
Hell. I wish that I could go back and change some things..I know I can't and so I sing.
What if I would have listened to my Mother instead of being so indifferent to another
life? Thought I was right and everyone else was wrong...Now I am weak while everyone else
is strong. I acted brave but maby I was a little scared. Being alone has always been my
worst fear. I thought of life as a party before you died. And here is a toast to all of
those lonesome nights. I know the truth of it all. I was wrong.
I am older now and I have learned alot of things. Most of all the joy that simply living
brings. In life we ask for so much..when waking up in the morning should be more than
enough. Fill your cup 'till it runneth over. Live your life 'cause there will never be
another. I know now the meaning of love. I know who is going to be there when push comes
to shove. I know the love and the meaning of family. The ones who stuck by me when even I
couldn't stand me. Through this long and rut filled road. I have learned to bend and just
let the wind blow. And my advice to all who will listen..Thank God for every day that you
are given. Do it right because you can't change the past. Every single day is just another
chance. Respect every little thing that you have. And believe me...the years do go by
fast. Yeah they go by fast...I guess time is to blame.
