It's A Way Of Life

Rating: 5.0


A mystery, a riddle, a problem in our world,
We avoid the subject everyday...

I wrote stories, I wrote songs, I wrote this to say,
Ask me, ask us, ask us in a way,
That grabs the keys, unlocks the words,
Please don't stand and stare.

It's a way of life, a fact about us,
'Cause you can't run or hide from life at all,
So take my hand, follow me,
Laughing, smiling, with, not at me.

Talk now, don't be afraid,
By one Lord, we were all made,
Sit with me, let's be friends,
But the truth we will not bend.

We all have futures, don't we?
Ones that we wish to follow
'I want to horseride in the Paralympic Games',
'But I want to be a singing star! '

So now you see, why we need,
To bring the subject out into the open

It's a Way of Life.
