You live your life
As you wish
And I’ll live mine
An effort to co-exist
Today’s world a crazy place
Mind what you do
And be careful what you say
Not everyone thinks as you do
I’m no angel
A student in the school of life
I’ve made my share of mistakes
Paid my dues in deserved strife
Now I do my best
To give back good karma
Pay it forward
A smile for my mama
But the path I walk
Unique of my own
Were you to walk my path
My truth to you would be shown
We’ve all different perspectives
Seen from various views
Each our own interpretations
Each our own truths
Respect comes with a price
In order to deserve respect
You must be respectful of others
Unless a conflict you expect
Our beliefs may vary
But still, we can co-exist
Give each other space
In such a place as this
