Lyrics
The Lessons of Life
w/m Mark James Wood © 2003 Kanu da Gila Music
Come on over, let me tell you things
That you've never heard before
Things you know are true, at least I hope you do
And remember no questions a bore
These are things from my yesterday
Little things that will help you tomorrow
Lessons of life to take heed of
To ease the pain in you
Things like look before you leap, Think before you speak
Always be true to your friend
And know how deep
The water is
Before you decide to jump in
It's OK to cry, If you feel the need
There's no reason to keep it in
And honesty, is the best way
To deal with anything
These are things from my yesterday
Little things that will help you tomorrow
Lessons of life to take heed of
To ease the pain in you
Now live your life to the fullest
Don't let one moment pass you by
And if today, It all seems to go wrong remember
A new day follows close behind
These are things from my yesterday
Little things that will help you tomorrow
Lessons of life to take heed of
To ease the pain in you
