Change
It's funny how the table can turn.
I always listened to people, but what did I really learn?
One day my life is in perfect order,
The next, I'm running for the border.
When your young it seems like everything is so easy,
But when you get older you find out that life is really sleasy.
So many things go wrong now days,
I think about all of those people sitting in jail eating off trays.
Today your married living a happy life,
But tomorrow his family is gone because he cheated on his wife.
You went to a party and had a simple drink,
Now you just realized that your throwing up in someones kitchen sink.
A guy raped you and it was your first time,
Now your pregant and no one thinks it's a crime.
You started off just having fun by smoking weed,
Now your in rehab for smoking other things and your brain is a seed.
When you stop and think about it asking God why?
You have a moment of silence because your begging and crying waiting for a reply.
No one is perfect everyone messes up,
But you haven't changed because you are still reaching for a cup.
People have thier ups and downs,
But God never wants yo to frown.
Life is a hard test,
Let's be different and pass unlike the rest.
