Life for me
Count your blessings your lucky to live
Stay warm and fed and happy to give
Dont let anybody push you around
Keep your head up stay strong and stand your ground
Life is gonna try and break you down
If you're a king it's gonna steal your crown
If you're poor it's gonna get you more
Till your crying and screaming crawling on the floor.
Then it might try to pick you up
Dust you off even give you some luck
Probably just a year or two than it's back to the hole life built for you
Maybe that's just the way life goes
Randomly through time I think, who knows
Try to roll with the punches and stabs and the scars the emotional damage in metaphorical jars.
The years of neglect happiness and pain the growth and recession the sunshine, the rain. Life is complex but worth the time so spend it wisely and don't waste mine.
