Family Ties

around the clock busy loading up the dock the usual 9-5 except in your life it's more like all day and night fast forward to jersey city commuting through subways working till sundays small apartment building four kids and a love that's unyielding london in the daytime is so beautiful bright lights and smiles so plentiful but when the moon sets and it is time to rest are you happy with where you are? you're all so busy in your own lives with your own kids and your own wives and that's okay, that's just life happening but i can't ignore what other life is shattering my grandfather, your dad, that helped you where you are now where are you in his time of need anyhow since when did it mean that your life beginning meant dismissing his when all he's done is raise the whole neighborhood and kids do you remember feeling like being on top of the world that's what happens when your dad keeps his word so i'm only gonna say this once are you family by blood or by ties do something before your goodnights to him turn into goodbyes
