Everyone makes choises
But I can t say which is right
And everyone made promises
And only meant to lie
And I don t know what to do
And I don t know just what to say anymore
This is my life and times

Lying down in darkness
Whit my ear against the door
I closed my eyes and caught
A fleeting glimpse and wanted more
Of the life that struck my soul
With feelings too great to ignore
But this is my life and times

The seconds turned to days
And now I m older
And I know it s time for me to start anew
But I buckle from the weight
That s on shoulders
And I need someone to help me through

Daddy couldn t speak to me
Before he ceased to live
Although he helds his hands to me
My eyes could not forgive
All the pain that they had seen
And hoped my mind would not relive
But this is my life and times
