A Father's Notebook

take head to the words you hear
draw them close to heart and keep them near.

you're a bright sunlight shining down upon the grass,
take care of yourself, and those that you'll outlast,
you'll grow into more than I could ever dream
and more than I'd ever see,
so seize what's left in time,
and do your best to leave something behind,

don't forget that moments fade,
and the grass will die,
anyone who says otherwise
is simply telling lies,
reach until you've pulled down stars,
and strive until you've become divine,
as long as you're brave enough,
you'll never waste your ending time!

people will deceive you
and leave you behind

let no one lead you astray,
separate by tongue or sword

reach until you've pulled down stars,
and strive until you've become divine,
as long as you're brave enough,
you'll never waste your ending time!

don't forget that moments fade,
and the grass will die!
anyone who says otherwise
is simply telling lies!

but words my friends
are deceptive!
and without proper
direction
there will be no destination,
just lost in the fog of misinterpretation!
but what do faithful followers do,
with no road left to tread
they blaze the road ahead
with attempt to mimic the works of the dead!

so don't forget that moments fade,
and the grass will die,
anyone who says otherwise
is simply telling lies,
reach until you've pulled down stars,
and strive until you've become divine,
as long as you're brave enough,
you'll never waste your ending time!
as long as your heart is true
to you and no one else,
don't feel shame for blazing true
past their bleak and hollow shells,

you are pure fire-light
burning blue as hell,
set ablaze your enemies,
and leave your endless tale to tell,
you are pure fire-light
burning blue as hell,
set ablaze your enemies,
and leave your endless tale to tell!
