My Life Goes on Like This

I hold back my words
Out of heartfelt respect
Humanities in my heart
Trust me of this I do attest
Take a walk with me
Down the path I tread
Perceptions a funny thing
Some is hard to believe
I’ve framed many
Within this fricken show
I’ve taken nothing
My life goes on this this:

I hold back my tongue
Pretending that I’ve nothing to say
Keeping my silence
Framed within honors embrace
My apron and fez I truly adore (Adore)
Many mistake my silence
As a flaw of someone of who’s weak.

Passing my time away
Giving my art away in the dark
Through other people’s hands
I’ve helped many along the way
I’ve taken nothing for myself
Except the love that they hold
My years have been blessed
Living out my life filled with dreams
Walking a line made from truths
Nothing’s really written out
I’ve figured things out on my own
My life goes on this this:

I hold back my tongue
Pretending that I’ve nothing to say
Keeping my silence
Framed within honors embrace
My apron and fez I truly adore (Adore)
Many mistake my silence
As a flaw of someone of who’s weak.

(Spoken at the end):
“The life I possess is its own reward and I’ve given my word, bound by love and light.”
