In days and times of younger years
I felt I'd never fall;
I couldn't lose no matter what
If I'd just give my all!

I lived my life so focused on
both riches and my fame;
I tried so hard to do my best
just hiding all the pain!

I dreamed not huge but massive dreams,
in life I had a plan;
To take this world by storm myself,
to be a wealthy man!

It's my own fault, the way I lived,
it comes as no surprise;
I worked so hard both night and day,
my loved ones paid the price!

I never spent, not near enough,
each moment oh so dear;
Those precious times, the little ones
that draw a family near!

Now've made a pact to focus on,
these finer things in life;
To be the dad I should've been
best husband to my wife!

To hug and hold, to love each day.
to make up for lost time;
To never let them go again,
to walk a different line!
