An old woman once told me
Don’t let work get in the way of you life
At any other time that would have rolled off my back
But not today, not this mood, her words pierced my heart like a knife
Just like the songs you’ve heard a million times
A heartfelt harmony, a well written melody
But when heard at the right time can change your mind
So old and so genuine
Life is brittle but her heart is strong
Her mind is set as clarity begins
Suddenly I see …my youth has led me wrong
