The Difference Between Us
The Difference Between us
mother told me hurry up
you don't want to be late
father said to slow down
you will only have to wait
since I was going nowhere
I just kept a steady gait
mother said be tidy
there's peace in cleanliness
father said I'm busy
some day I'll get to this
since I was doing nothing
I organized the mess
mother said that luck
was the founder of the feast
father said that skill
killed and cooked the beast
since I wasn't hungry
my quarry was released
mother said find happiness
the seed is in your heart
father said dont harvest it
your sure to fall apart
since I am really no one
I took pride in having doubt
mother said keep smiling
let no one hear you fuss
father said don't hold back
let them hear you cuss
so I became the exception
to the difference's in us
