We've all heard so many conflicting words |
|
About life, whether wrong or right |
|
How you gotta be workin' hard |
|
And it ain't no easy job |
|
To survive. Just keep alive |
|
We've all come to think of ourselves as links |
|
In a chain, so much to gain |
|
We are the ones who tie our fathers to our sons |
|
Don't you know, that's how we grow |
|
What my life really means is that the songs that I sing |
|
Are just pieces of a dream that I've been building |
|
And we can make a stand and |
|
hey, I'm reachin' for your hand |
|
'Cause I know damn well we can if we are willing |
|
But we gotta be... |
|
Got to be willing |
|
Well we've all been so close to getting in |
|
It's always nice, with no sacrifice |
|
But times have changed and it's no longer strange |
|
To make a few corrections in our direction |
|
'Cause being strong is more than just holdin' on |
|
To advance, you gotta take a chance |
|
Waitin' on line, it ain't nothin' but marking time |
|
Won't get nowhere, just standing here |
|
What my life really means is that the songs that I sing |
|
Are just pieces of a dream that I've been building |
|
And we can make a stand and |
|
hey, I'm reachin' for your hand |
|
'Cause I know damn well we can if we are willing |
|
But we gotta be... |
|
Got to be willing |
