By: Cedric McClester There are things That I’ve held deep inside Certain truths To myself I’ve deniend Self-restraints That I’ve never applied See my life has been One hell of a ride No matter where My path has led Or even what You might have read Before I’m long gone And dead I don’t wanna Leave nothing unsaid I’m a man With few regrets Cuz it seems my conscience Always forgets Though I’ve gambled I hedged all my bets Still I’ve made an effort To pay all my debts No matter where My path has led Or even what You might have read Before I’m long gone And dead I don’t wanna Leave nothing unsaid Before I lay me Down to bed And the pillow Is securely under my head I don’t want to leave Nothing unsaid Or nothing that might Somehow be misread I don’t want to Have a debate I just want to Clean the slate And while I’m at it Let me also state I’m just setting The record straight No matter where My path has led Or even what You might have read Before I’m long gone And dead I don’t wanna Leave nothing unsaid There are no more Secrets to keep And so I’m choosing To go in deep I’ve decided to Take the leap And there is no mountain That’s too steep Cedric McClester, Copyright (c) 2016.  All rights reserved.

NOTHING UNSAID
By: Cedric McClester There are things That I’ve held deep inside Certain truths To myself I’ve deniend Self-restraints That I’ve never applied See my life has been One hell of a ride No matter where My path has led Or even what You might have read Before I’m long gone And dead I don’t wanna Leave nothing unsaid I’m a man With few regrets Cuz it seems my conscience Always forgets Though I’ve gambled I hedged all my bets Still I’ve made an effort To pay all my debts No matter where My path has led Or even what You might have read Before I’m long gone And dead I don’t wanna Leave nothing unsaid Before I lay me Down to bed And the pillow Is securely under my head I don’t want to leave Nothing unsaid Or nothing that might Somehow be misread I don’t want to Have a debate I just want to Clean the slate And while I’m at it Let me also state I’m just setting The record straight No matter where My path has led Or even what You might have read Before I’m long gone And dead I don’t wanna Leave nothing unsaid There are no more Secrets to keep And so I’m choosing To go in deep I’ve decided to Take the leap And there is no mountain That’s too steep Cedric McClester, Copyright (c) 2016.  All rights reserved.
