lyrics

Looking back where you’ve gone
A sudden puzzle you’re wary of
A Sudden troubling parable tell me
Coming back where you’re from
What you get is impractical and
This is getting impassable yes I
Put you in the world and let you crawl and tho
It always broke my heart to watch you fall
A life that’s always safe is just no life at all
Your life is yours its only mine to start

You are all that I’ve done
Like a circular hit-and run
You pick it up and you pass it on stepping
Back and letting you run
And now you’re looking at what you’ve done
Tripping isn’t a lot of fun, and you’ve
Taken all the knocks you think you can
But it takes a lot of scrapes to build a man
I hope you see I tried to do the best I can but
Your strife is yours I only played a part

There were times I’d do my best to try and shield you
From mistakes I know I’ve made.
But by the time you know enough for me to tell you
Well your bed’s already made
And you can use that rest to kick and scream and shout
But in your life you’ll have enough to cry about
And every time’s the time you’re sure you’ve got it figured out
You grow to find that living is an art
And though I’ve got no knowledge to impart you know you’ve got my help to take yourself apart
Your life was such a privilege to start

Win some and some will forswear you
Each one was sent to prepare you
