Wise Words

I watched the stars glow from memory As we paced the sidewalks of a concrete covered grove And you'll never know just what it meant to me When i saw the message in the silence from above I thought my time here would be limited But the road gets longer the more we go Tell my father I'll collect the images I'm ready now To listen up and grow I wish that I knew a better way To tell you all that you need to know "I'm always so proud," I'd hear him say As I would turn, slamming the door I only wish to be an honest man Finding bliss in all I do I don't care if it takes a lifetime You were once by me Now, I'll stand next to you "We're only human," he'd always say "A life well lived is something we work for But you'll learn and make your own mistakes Just like your old man before" Is it too late to say I'm sorry Is it too late to say I care I've been blind to wise words That have always been there They've always been there
