Take a Look Around

There’s a time in the spring when it’s still cold but not as it was once was

And I go for a stroll and say hello

To every new thing coming up

Older than me, cracks in the street

Bark on the trees is glistenin' with sunshine

I can feel the heat on my skin

Can’t believe I woke up again

But I believe it now

Just take a look around

There’s a woman in bed, with nothing on and she’s laying next to me

And when she wakes up I oughta be

More like who she loved when we first met

Heaven and earth, they'd wait for her

Diamonds and pearls, no, they don't mean anything

When she would place her hands on my skin

Calm the fear I held within

I’d be lost without her now

She had me take a look around

There’s a kid in the yard, wild and free, not as young as he was once was

And I hope he grows into someone

That he truly loves

Light in the heart, courageous and sharp

Knows how to roll with the punches

I hope he knows when he’s done wrong

I hope he feels me when I’m gone

'Cause it won't be long now

So take a good look around

Oh, it won't be long now

So take a good look around
