MY LIFE

AbayoG 1999 (nairobi)



Not everything works out in the end
Not every time you have to blend
Whenever you are wrong you don't have to bend
We all get tired (sigh)
Well that's my life

Some say we are too young
Stress knows no age
Depression attacks both old and young
We usually don't check the feelings gauge
Piling up anger into a grudge
We all get tired (sigh)
Well that's my life

No one is perfect
We all have our mistakes
For one to talk about
They must have found they live with snakes
We all get tired (sigh)
Well that's my life

I say this with pain
Who knows I might be slain
Not every day does the truth hurt
It molds us to have better a heart
I agree a family is a special unit
But to it, there's a special unit
Every argument escalates To its speed limit
We all get tired (sigh)
Well, that's my life.

They say we were built from earth
Well it's time we said we tried
To be happy you had lied
Life isn't an easy math             
We all get tired
Well that's my life

     Sighs...
