Reckoning
A Father's voice just cracked, as he tried not to cry.
He had to tell him, son, your Mother just died.
The son thought, this just can't be real.
I am a man, but, I don't know how to deal.
A child is born, a life is lived, but some things just can't last.
The days fly by and the calls get lost; it all moves by so fast.
We need to slow down, and take our time to unwind.
We need to hold on, to the good times that we find.
We're in a world where the pieces don't line up as we choose.
It takes a long time to realize that our lives are ours to lose.
And, no, time won't wait for me and you...
He just wants one more day, to say the things he didn't say.
A chance to tell her how, life got in the way.
But that's the thing, see, life's just not that cruel.
We are the ones who play by our own rules.
Do we always apologize for the actions that we take,
When time and time, and time again, we're told that it will ache?
And when the time comes just know your heart will break.
Another day, it's gonna come without you.
We all know the pain, it's gonna come regardless.
Another day, it's gonna come without you.
We all know the pain, it's gonna come regardless.
No, the pieces don't line up as we choose.
We've got to realize that our lives are ours to lose.
And, no, time won't wait for me and you.
If there's anything to learn, it's to keep an open hand.
While there's still that time to burn, hold tight the things you can.
Live out your days full, right on through the night.
Leave no regrets, and it'll all be alright.
