Three Days Ago
He just came back home
Three days ago
Yet nothing has changed
This I do know
He stayed home one night
And then he was gone
Back to his friends
Where everything’s wrong
The drugs are there
And that’s why he’ll stay
They mean more to him
Than I do this day
Perhaps in time
He may understand
It takes hard work
To act like a man
It takes courage and strength
To do the right thing
The easy road
Leads to nothing
