Love is love, they say.
Guess it's better off that way.
+
Your mother is crying,
Your father is dying.
+
You don't understand,
You can't feel the land.
+
You thought it wouldn't matter,
You thought they'd be gladder.
+
Sometimes, though,
Life hands you a ladder.
+
Soon enough, things get clear
And your mom stops her tears.
+
Your dad gets by,
There's no more lies
About flies.
He ties his tie.
+
Life is hard,
You get handed some cards.
+
People need to see,
And get handed a key.
+
People need to teach,
And preach.
+
We're all the same, can't you see;
So why don't you go and stop laughing at me.
