The Teeth in Life
I watched you, underneath the sunshine
Smiling as you reached out for my throw
And I saw you, just before you caught that ball
The trip and fall, landing hard below
Through the tears you called my name
And battled not to feel ashamed
I scooped you up and asked if your ok
Life can be a joker's card
For those without a ruthless heart
But the best of us play straight come what may
And when it's time you go your own way
I hope you think back to this day
Remember fondly the games that we played
Don't let the teeth in life take that away
I watched you, glowing in the moonlight
Waiting for your bright light to fall
And I saw you, chewing on those problems
That you realized no shooting star would solve
Wishes are a funny thing
Since life does need those hopes and dreams
But don't forget to act on your design
Take your time to make believe
Then raise your chin, grit your teeth
Climb to the top, but stay kind
And when it's time you go your own way
I hope you think back to this day
Remember fondly the games that we played
Don't let the teeth in life take that away
I watched you walk across that stage
And I realized you're finally at that age
So now it's time to you your own way
I hope you think back to that day
Remember fondly the games that we played
Always remember that day
It's time to you your own way
I hope you think back to that day
Remember fondly the games that we played
Don't let the teeth in life take that away
Don't let the teeth in life take that away
Smiling as you reached out for my throw
And I saw you, just before you caught that ball
The trip and fall, landing hard below
Through the tears you called my name
And battled not to feel ashamed
I scooped you up and asked if your ok
Life can be a joker's card
For those without a ruthless heart
But the best of us play straight come what may
And when it's time you go your own way
I hope you think back to this day
Remember fondly the games that we played
Don't let the teeth in life take that away
I watched you, glowing in the moonlight
Waiting for your bright light to fall
And I saw you, chewing on those problems
That you realized no shooting star would solve
Wishes are a funny thing
Since life does need those hopes and dreams
But don't forget to act on your design
Take your time to make believe
Then raise your chin, grit your teeth
Climb to the top, but stay kind
And when it's time you go your own way
I hope you think back to this day
Remember fondly the games that we played
Don't let the teeth in life take that away
I watched you walk across that stage
And I realized you're finally at that age
So now it's time to you your own way
I hope you think back to that day
Remember fondly the games that we played
Always remember that day
It's time to you your own way
I hope you think back to that day
Remember fondly the games that we played
Don't let the teeth in life take that away
Don't let the teeth in life take that away
