Life On Life's Terms

It was a Sunday when his phone ran,

"I know how busy you have been, I'm

just calling to check in." Heard his

voice, I knew then it happened again.

This one was different, I knew he meant

it, but the pain's always the same. Heart

of gold he'll take the blame, and better

days is losing it's ring. If this means

something at all... I, I know we're not

like them- Couldn't be if we tried. Life

on life's terms ain't easy. Told me the

story, all too familiar. It was a ghost

from the past, really thought this one

would last. Baby boy, you deserve so much

more. I hate to see it happen to a friend,

Why does lesser guys win in the end? She

won't know what she had until you're gone.

She lost a good one. I've found that when

it all turns to a mess, look back and see

it happened for the best. Try to heek your

chin up though the tests. You've just gotta

have faith. If this means something at

all... I, I know we're not like them-

Couldn't be if we try. Life on life's

terms ain't easy, just gotta take it in

stride. And I'm by your side, you've been

by mine though the good and the bad, yeah.

And all those nights when we'd just drive,

and we felt all alone in the world. Look

out tonight and we were right. Look how far

we've come and now is our time. I, I now

we're not like them- Couldn't be if we

tried. Life one Life's terms ain't easy,

just gotta take it in stride.
