it's mid october and taxes are due
the sky takes on a different hue
my mind recedes into the day-to-day
but I'm brought back by you
It's late in autumn and groceries are thin
laid off from another job again
my mind looks to the weeks ahead
feel the fears of weaker men
and life goes on
it's another christmas and I look to the skies
no hope for joy or any more lies
no man in the sky to rain down peace
cannot look in my children's eyes
It's a new year and hope abounds
this sinking ship has run aground
clear the decks of the worries and frets
we have found solid land, we're all safe and sound
and life goes on
we never know what the future holds
we can only read as the pages unfold
a story is made richer by conflict and strife
to tell the tale to the teller too tall to be told
Take the reins my boy, this story is your own
with your boundless future, your seeds yet sown
take nothing for granted, leave no stone unturned
keep your mind on the edge, let life be the hone
