We need wings not words to fly,
but these words are what they give
as flying lessons . . .
�Do as I say, not as I do.�
They say: Life�s hard, then you die,
You have to learn to turn the other cheek,
If it doesn�t kill you, it makes you stronger,
For every cloud has a silver lining,
And every coin two sides,
Because the glass can be 1/2 empty or 1/2 full,
So if life hands you lemons, make lemonade,
After all hind sight is always 20/20,
And this hurts me more than it hurts you,
Who said life�s fair?
You�ve made your bed, now lie in it,
For only time will tell,
And anything is possible if you put your mind to it,
Because you�ll never know if you don�t try,
And one person can make a difference,
But no one can change the world,
And don�t take matters into your own hands,
Or speak unless your spoken to,
Respect your elders and learn your place,
After all who said life�s fair anyway?
They do: They say this as they cringe,
Under their protective boughs,
Pushing us out of the nest without wings,
And only words to help us fly.
