Only If I Were Like You

Sometimes I just don’t know I wonder if I will ever learn One things for sure though dad We will make a turn Living in a world full of struggle Feeling like I’m just awaiting trouble And yet I continue to strive on... Oh how I could land flat on the ground tomorrow And feel no more pain or sorrow But where would that bring me to? Forget the heartache and pain to you… Yet if I fail tonight then I couldn't be right Is it clever to be like you? Only if you were my clue. But man…I haven’t a clue why even smart people like Mozart died Whose lives were short lived with experience Buried in their graves young yet filled with different points and views At which point could I no longer strive? I think into the depths I would dive If I were only a success then what would we do? Must I answer this question Or keep you second guessing? The doubt whether I’ve made it through the particular things we do Through the ring of fire and standing with you…
