 My old man is

            
 another, chil

              
d that's grown

 
 old.
              
If dreams were

            
 thunder, and 

              
lightning was 

       
desire

ne thing that

To believe in 

             
this living is

             
 just a hard w

             
ay to go.

d no matter ho

        
w I try,
             
the years just
