Here I Stand
Here I stand, a lonely man,
Aimless wandering with out a plan,
Planet Earth is where I roam,
The last frontier I call my home,
Ever searching for the truth,
Growing wiser since my youth,
Family and friend are all you need,
My advice, I insist, you heed,
Though love seems to heal,
Make certain that love is real,
If it wasn't meant to be,
Lock it up and hide the key,
Don't let the pain get you down,
Someday your key will be found,
When that day comes to show,
Happiness in you will grow,
When it comes to school and work,
Try your hardest not to shirk,
Pay attention in your class,
Don't do your work half-gassed,
Respect others, respect yourself,
Respect time, respect health,
In general, just have respect,
Evil temptations you must reject,
Don't spend time being depressed,
Thoughts of stress you can suppress,
Be the best you can be,
The price of happiness isn't free,
Stay clean, resist relapse,
True freedom, you will grasp,
Sound the trumpets, crack a Pabst.
