that’s the way life be

January 14th, 2009 by Rain · No Comments

Category: Poem of the Day
everybody answers to somebody
i answer to me
i’m harder on myself
than anybody else could be
been in love ?
yea, a time or two
every felt heart break ?
yep, how bout you
 
everyone stands alone
in life’s pourin rain
everyone’s got their own umbrella
their own way to hide from pain
i’ve been on that shadowy highway
lookin for someplace to rest
i’ve laughed when i felt like cryin
i think that’s just the way life be…i guess
 
there’s an ocean of memories
i’ve gathered along the way
some of them i’ve forgotten
others just hang around and stay
there’s some streets i’ve walked
i’d love to walk again
places and faces locked in my heart
good times come on you…now and then
i’ve passed a lot of brick walls
i’ve failed to do my best
kinda just the way it goes
i think its just the way life be…i guess
 
somedays i feel so strong
like nothing can get to me
other times when i wake up 
i’m about as lost as i can be
it all seems to have a beat
like a song that won’t go way
i just get dressed…walk out the door
and live my life day by day
i think all i really know
what i’ve learned more or less
try to give more than you take
i think its just the way life be… i guess
