Lyrics

As I watch from the doorway,
In the bed where he lay,
His eyes express the agony
Of a life nearly paid.
And I fought for the right words
But they just wouldn’t come
My mind just kept repeating
Fatherless son
And he said, “come take a seat boy”
As he reached for my hand.
“I’ve been lucky enough to watch you
As a boy became man
But as you see we’re alone here
So this must be said,
Take a second to remember this
Let it sink in your head.”
And he said “Let me remind you
How good life can be.
Take a good look around you,
Tell me what you see,
There’s so much you will find if you open your eyes.
Don’t let it take losing everything
To make you realize.
Have the courage to take all that life has to give,
Now you’ve mastered existence,
Go learn how to live!”
I often look back and wonder,
If I’ve given my best,

Did I take those words he said to me
And put life to the test
Or have I fought for the right things,
Was it worth all the pain,
Will the crowds that I’ve lived for
Remember my name?
And then I look at our creation,
And the answers are clear,
In the hearts that really matter,
We will always be here,
And he said “Let me remind you
How good life can be.
Take a good look around you,
Tell me what you see,
There’s so much you will find if you open your eyes.
Don’t let it take losing everything
To make you realize.
Have the courage to take all that life has to give,
Now you’ve mastered existence,
Go learn how to live!”
Go learn how to live!
