What you hear and what you listen to
are world's apart
What you take away is another story
You pick your fights
SElf Editing becomes a talent you hone
Keep your friends close and enemies closer
Frenemies need not apply
Sometimes they are the same but you have to learn that
Then when you least expect it many things make themselves clear
Just remember that every moment is a learning opportunity
You should never ever stop learning
Advice to you is to remember that because when it does
You are no longer on this khaki coil
Keep your feet on the ground even when you are soaring

You succeed
You persist
You do it to it because you must and need to do so
You want to do good in the world
Stop listening to those anti do gooder speeches
Why are you still doubting yourself?

Did you walk in their shoes?
Perhaps they didn’t fit
They walked on and never quit
Step by step
Rule by rule
Smiling while hiding their tears
Every rule adapted or broken
Every change and moment grabbed on toor cast aside
Did you walk in their shoes?
Is this the life you choose?
Every winner has to move on the rung of life
Sometimes you stumble but you rise again
You welcome those to your emotional rescue
Again

Never a doubt in my mind
no chance of a gray cloud passin' by
though questions go unanswered
I still have reasons to try
wish I really knew why?
You're the rainbow that fills my umbrella with promise
so excuse me if there are no dry eyes
for she still cries and cries
nobody answers - why?
was there always such pain in your soul?
leavin' you empty when you choose to be whole
but you never stopped believing when others left you on your own
you keep searching for a time to call me on the phone
always a mountain to climb
something to buy with your very last dime
Chills in the morning and warmth in the midday sun
Dreaming of things you'll finish though they have never really been done
never a doubt in my mind that you'd leave yesterday behind
you moved on to tomorrow
because today didn't really come
you never gave of yourself but you wanted others to follow along and come down a road forever traveled with a destination unknown
You were always in a group but you felt completely alone
