Daylight falls
evening calls
with twilight

Hold my hand
I'm afraid of
the dark of night

I learned a lesson
when I was
just knee-high

my Daddy told me
it was OK
to cry...

my Momma told me
I should
always try

If you try
and give your all
it's not your fault

If you don't try
and you fail
it's ALL your fault

I learned the lesson
of not being
someone I'm not

That's a lesson
learned that
I never forgot

Life is short
no turning back
the hands of time

lessons lived
lessons learned
hope I've learned mine
