This is the song that almost never was. It then became our favorite, but no one else seemed to like it as much. In retrospect, it was probably just a lot of fun to play. It's about innumerable things, but mostly a father figure that I greatly admire, and something he once told me.
lyrics
Come on and wake up
The father told the son
You gotta lift the stakes up
Though life does way a ton
And sometimes it makes you feel haunted
But it’s all that you’ve ever wanted
Cause all he wanted was a chance to prove his worth
A chance he’s been searching for since birth
And if life was fair on this green earth
He’d have shown, have it proven by now
But all he got was just the taste of their dull eyes
As they looked on him silence cried
His only fault was his surprise
He should have known he was living in clouds
Live it up boy
And show the world
All that you’ve got boy
She wore a tight knit shirt with cut offs at the knees
A fashion don’t, but fashion, please
She had more thoughts to fill her teeth
And never spoke unless sure of her words
That they would leave a mark on those she left behind
But problem was it’s hard to find
The type of folks that use their mind
They were left with the silence she heard
Live it up girl
And show the world
All that you’ve got girl
Cause those teeth of pearls
Should be moving so hot
And every time you leave there eyes closed
Sure you even out the score
But every time you play the window
Or you open up the door
You get a chance
To finally see
Just what it is this world could be
