All In One
All In One
Was quiet, wanting to be more
Silent was I, didn't open that door
Didn't see what was all around me
Others were living wild and free
Listened and enjoyed the family thing
Took care of the husband, house and offspring
Keeping all straight but something still missing
Time doesn't slow down, time was a ticking
Always doing what was taught and told
There was more to life, these thoughts grew old
Finally letting reality set in
Not letting others live my life within
Move, speak, dance, let it out
Never hold back your soul, SHOUT
Did what was right, kept my dignity
Did not let others wrongs get the best of me
Have the respect from the ones that matter
A living book of information, learned and gathered
