That man who raised you?
Install discipline and respect in you.
Might not get the credit the way mothers do.

But many boys/men know he the best thing in your life you know.

He might be firm.
He might be fearless.
That man is the one you proud to call dad.

He worked and maybe a little more than he should.
But that man did what he had to do for his family?

What is it about that race?
That scares that race.
Many ask this question?
Many people wonder?

What about that race?
That has that race so in fear.
Just what is it?

There's an old saying that states if the power you posse is gone.
Would you then be trying to get along?

What about that race?
That hadn't adjusted to a changing world.
Many still seeking those golden days of their youth.

Listen to them speak.
And hear the fear within their voices.
Soon you comprehend they hate to face serious choices.

And one is being seen as a minority.

I said I would never fall in love.
Cause I didn't want the trouble.
Except, love took over(love took over)

And connected me, just to make me see.
How happy I could be?

There have been many times before.
When I venture that way only just to say I've done it.
And when it got the best of me.
I simply walked away.

I deny it was needed.
That folk was just pretending.
Except, love took over(took over)
And brought this joy to me.

When things end between lovers.
And friends or family ask you what happen?
No one ever says we the blame.

They go totally the opposite way.
Point out his or her mistakes.
That contributed to the path they took.

It took we to build a fountain.
It took we to create a situation.
We just refuse to see the big picture.

I say this again.
We just refuse to see the bigger picture.

We become a marriage politician.
Fabricating truth to be seen as the good person.
While leveling all problems on the gone member.

Nobody ever says we when things go wrong.

It took we to connect.
It takes we to break up.
Heck, for a better word.
We all make mistakes concerning love.

You said we were over.
Time together has ended.
We took this ride far enough.

But when I unpacked my belonging.
I found out you kept the photos.

Time, wasn't all that bad.
In between the bad was good times together.
I still talk good about us.

I just notice, you kept the photos.
Even you realize we made good memories.
When you glance at them.

Even you realize at one time, we were so happy.

Life is a learning lesson.
Whether we apart or was still together.
Funny, how we try to erase things that brought a smile to our face?

When problems come to you?
And inside you feel you don't know what to do?

Turn around and there she stands.
Advising you not to worry about anything.

Just her support and confidence ease all your worries.
So ask yourself?

How?
Can you not love her?
She's your hope and rock of strength.
The woman that makes you realize why you more in love with you?

Probably, one of a few to see you cry.
When others hadn't seen a tear fall from your eyes.

So how?
Can you not love her?
For she is shows in love with you.

Look over your should and you know she is there.
If you need anyone in your corner.
There she will be.

Take you back, they say.
Many say you changed.
But I can't there's just too much pain.

Still, they push your case.
Pointing out to me the love you still feel.
Except they fail to see the hurt you left in me.
When you did what you did?
Yes, way back when.

A fool I truly was just giving you my heart.
Rumors were before my face all about you.
So I try to look past them.
Then you went and did what you did?

A love from one to another.
Is a precious gift.
One that's a treasure that no amount of money can measure.
But all I hear from friends.

Is take you back once more.
Why keep score?
When it comes to love.

But I can't because of too much pain.

Just maybe with time.
If in God plans you might once again be mine.
