Prompt / Lyrics
A turbulent storm Beyond the norm A mind never at rest Always put to the test Sensitive and emotionally aware A young boy who had no choice but to care A handful and way too complicated In an emotional shell until I graduated Its one chance to do our best One chance to pass the test Even in your own story feeling like a guest Should I run fast or is it O K to rest Son of an immigrant and a blue collar Dad Work hard and figure it out was the lesson I had By twenty two a married veteran with a kid Living in the moment with little foresight is all did A child lost near death on occasion Life was no picnic no exotic vacation Often proving to be my own worst enemy I was spinning my wheels and living on the edge for all to see Its one chance to do our best One chance to pass the test Even in your own story feeling like a guest Should I run fast or is it O K to rest Mid management jobs making the in retail Life was passing by with no rudder but a strong wind and full sail The day came to leave and set my hostages free Was the trouble with her or was it really all me A new phase of life a new plan A lighter heart and new approach determined to be a better man Grandkids arrived my life they did bless Yet I'm still me and my life is still a mess Its one chance to do our best One chance to pass the test Even in your own story feeling like a guest Should I run fast or is it O K to rest Staring at twilight at the crossroads once more Knowing this is the last time to choose which door The next steps I take will determine it all Will I work it out or will I continue to fall Life is long and not always smooth, you dont always have something to prove, make the most out of every day and think carefully about the words you say. Be kind be humble pray and do right. Because its actually short and you can quickly loose the fight
