When the time comes,
Will I be a grown up man,
Melding with the stream of life,
Or will I take cover
And hide like I always do?
Will I give back
What was so freely given to me,
Or will I grab a hold of the prize
And never let go of it?
I don't want to be that
Selfish man anymore,
Where all I care about is more,
And how I can get you to like me.
It isn't easy to give up on that,
I work at it everyday.
The more honest I am,
The better I feel.
I don't want to lay my head down
At night and think to myself I wasn't
Much of a human being today,
That I could of been kinder
And gentler to other people
Who are struggling with how
To do better too.
In the end,
Our hearts all be the same.
