Without a Doubt

It ain’t the way the wind blows or what’s left when it’s gone and it ain't in the bank roll money never tastes that strong and it’s not in the flowers that you send her when she’s gone it ain’t what happens to you it’s the way you carry on. A life can bring you trouble it can pull the other way and love can beat you double till you don’t know what to say it ain’t what you do or don’t do that will help you win the day and it ain’t what you carry it’s what you loose along the way. Your chains are much too heavy they’ll drag you to the ground it ain’t the way you talk to many it’s the words your leaving’ out. You can’t climb a mountain with your head up in the clouds but you can swim the ocean without the water moving’ out it’s not the way you tell it when your stories at the end it’s the way that you receive it when you make another friend These weights are old and heavy they’ll drag and bury me if it ain’t the way you want it it’s the way it’s meant to be it ain’t the way the wind blows or the sandstorm or the drought it’s the way that we perceive it i know this without a doubt.
