"Come work, son"

I would hear

All though my young life

"Someday, I will be taken

From your eyes

-Know this..."

I see you now

Growing up

And the words echo loud

From beyond

"Seize onto now

It's over too fast

There's only so much"

Come learn, son

Of the great ones

In our bloodline

But careful as you trace it

Not to lose

Your will

Don't hang yourself from the rope

That the world says you must, to belong

'Cause it's solely your call what you must do

Seize onto now

It's over too fast

There's only so much

Color, son

Show me your world

Tell me of the light

Help me find your love for life

My soul never learned

To play it like you do

Seize onto now

It's over too fast

There's only so much
