FOR A LIFETIME
Life goes by my watery eyes
Brilliant colors, oh how they hypnotize
I’ve lost everything
It’s the worst I’ve ever been
Thanks for the kindness
For not stepping on me
For the change in your pocket
I’d take just a penny
Pre-chorus
You’ve heard it before
The story is the same
No one to lean on
Only fear and shame
Chorus
Never learned to make friends
Struggled most of the time
Kept waiting for the right time
It is no mystery
It’s a missed opportunity
For a lifetime
Hardly had a loving hand
Hardly heard a loving word
People I looked up to
They came down on me
Thanks for the charity
Your fleeting thought for me
For the kind word, the passing glance
It’s something, something
Pre-chorus
You’ve heard it before
The story is the same
No one to lean on
Only fear and shame
Chorus
Never learned to make friends
Struggled most of the time
Kept waiting for the right time
It is no mystery
It’s a missed opportunity
For a lifetime
Bridge
Scores of people pass me by
I’m ashamed of what they see
Embarrassed and afraid
Of what they’ll think of me
Chorus
Never learned to make friends
Struggled most of the time
Kept waiting for the right time
Kept waiting for the right time
For a lifetime
Life goes by my watery eyes
Brilliant colors, oh how they hypnotize
I’ve lost everything
It’s the worst I’ve ever been
Thanks for the kindness
For not stepping on me
For the change in your pocket
I’d take just a penny
Pre-chorus
You’ve heard it before
The story is the same
No one to lean on
Only fear and shame
Chorus
Never learned to make friends
Struggled most of the time
Kept waiting for the right time

It’s a missed opportunity
For a lifetime
Hardly had a loving hand
