This is the life, this is the way,
that you want me to be.
This is a lie, this is a strike,
and you don’t get three.
I’ve taken all this time to
show to you my lines,
to read you my rhymes,
you’ll never memorize,
please don’t forget me.
Now you have taught me
how to live by grace,
and I will do this until my dying day.
how could I ever fall away from you?
You taught me how to live like christ,
and how to show my face in the worst of times,
and all I can say is thank you.
Take it, here I owe you, all my affection.
