Some One Once Told Me ©©

Someone told me when I was young
Life was new and made just for you
He told me that I would rise above what I was
And one day look back to see how you got to be this old

Someone told me when I was young
I would be free to be who I wanted to be
She told me that the world is my oyster
And the pearl is the smile I helped create

Someone once told me when I was young
The day will come when my blood would bath the streets a crimson red
He told me I would walk into it with eyes wide open
And why is he dead, shot through the head

Someone once told when I was young
God will always watch over me
He told me that no matter what I do he would be there
And where was he when the world went to hell?

Someone once told me when I was young
Don’t you worry?
He said down along the path I will find who I am
And then I will know who I am

Someone once told me when I was young
A touch spoke a thousand words
She said a gentle hand tames the wildest heart
And love is the river that can’t be dammed

Someone once told me when I was young
You can make life simple or hard
He said that it comes down to how much you love yourself
And only then will you be happy

Someone has always told me when I was young
How to grow up and to be me
They always pointed the way to the crossroads of life
And what will they tell me when I am old?
