Love, Learn and Live

nair36

Raised in a happy home, I got taken away

Goodbye happy home, I’ll see you another day

Mom and dad don’t cry, I’m still your little guy

I’ll grow into a man, next time you see me you won’t cry

I love you with my soul, I love you with my heart

I just lost control, that lost control made us depart

Be that as it may, I’ll return home more mature

I will love, learn and live, these are things I can assure

 

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ll do my best to love

Surreal and sensitive

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ll do my best to learn

Know what’s right from negative

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ll do my best to live

I’ll make this journey narrative

 

Habits, havoc, hell, I’m breaking out my shell

Not the best of me, but moments do compel

Lost my innocence, wouldn’t last for ever

I’d say wont relapse, but I should never say never

I’m still standing strong, strong as I can stand

But the weakness hits hard when no one can understand

I’m making my mistakes, probably will some more

But slates can be cleansed, stand in the rain and let it pour

 

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ll do my best to love

Surreal and sensitive

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ll do my best to learn

Know what’s right from negative

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ll do my best to live

I’ll make this journey narrative

 

Staring at the moon, wonder if you see it too

I’m coming home soon, coming home back to you

I feel like I have changed, let go of the past

Time has grown me up, time has gone by fast

Here I have been lost, even been depressed

But I’ve done what was needed, I can say that I progressed

Differences in the past, I was drifting from my dome

I’ve loved, lived and learned and now I can come home

 

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ve done my best to love

Surreal and sensitive

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ve done my best to learn

Know what’s right from negative

Love, learn and live

Maybe gain and give

I’ve done my best to live

I made this journey narrative
