Lyrics
JOURNEY
VERSE 1
Think I?ll dedicate this song to mom and dad
The best people I know.
And even though all they do is give until they bleed
There are those who?d like to see them fold.
Heaven knows I haven?t lived a sin-free life.
But heaven knows how hard I?ve tried.
And if you will listen for a while, I have some words to ease your mind.
CHORUS
Life will be hard, cruel and unkind.
And even when I wanted to lay down and die
I never have and I won?t stop now
VERSE 2
If my worse seem a little hazy and you don?t dig what I?m saying
Then please allow me to simplify
Dad and mom you are more than understanding
So much more than an blessing
More like every child?s wish on a shooting star
CHORUS
Life can be hard, cruel and unkind
And even in my darkest hour
You managed to keep my hope alive
BRIDGE
When you said, ?No, son that?s not the way it?s done
You were born to survive.
And in no way, shape or form shall you ever not try
You never have and you won?t start now?
CHORUS
Life can be hard, cruel and unkind
And even when I wanted to lay down and die
I never have and I wont? stop now
VERSE 4
If someday I find a girl and we get married, have a baby in a carriage
Hope I can be as good a parent as you two are
And heaven knows I don?t deserve what I have
But heaven did provide.
