Lyrics
, we've all heard so many conflicting words, about life, whether wrong or right, how you gotta be workin' hard, and it ain't no easy job, to survive. just keep it alive, we've all come to think of ourselves as links, in a chain, so much to gain, we are the ones who tie our fathers to our sons, don't you know, that's how we grow, what my life really means is that the songs that i sing, are just pieces of a dream that i've been building, and we can make a stand and hey, i'm reachin' out my hand, 'cause i know damn well we can if we are willing, but we gotta be. got to be willing, well we've all been so close to getting in, it's always nice, with no sacrifice, but times have changed and it's no longer strange, to make a few corrections in our direction, 'cause being strong is more than just holdin' on, to advance, you gotta take a chance, waitin' on line, it ain't nothin' but marking time, won't get nowhere, just standing there, what my life really means is that the songs that i sing, are just pieces of a dream that i've been building, and we can make a stand and hey, i'm reachin' for your hand, 'cause i know damn well we can if we are willing, but we gotta be. got to be willing,
