My Own Story
They laughed at me for walking naked but forgot i was wearing a smile
they said i was broke but forgot i had afforded a smile
they called me a lazy-bone for sleeping for days but forgot i had walked for miles
to achieve what i have i had to remind them, i have paid some bails
Mine have been a long story, that no author has written
a story full of love and hatred, one in a million it has proven
smiling and crying have been me, and with no otherwise jumping from the fire to the oven
just hoping one day that my doors will open
The two coin side of life i have faced, i prefer the note
i have swam to the show only to turn back and see a boat
i jump in jubilation, but forgot the land was dry i now face the drought
i think life is a chameleon we only have to do with the change
