Seize The Day

Little Billy, walking home alone. A little slower than before.
Confused and bruised, stumbles down the road,
Filthy clothes and jacket torn...

Another day, another lesson that's been drilled in me.
I fought for what I thought was right.
Right now, I can't see tomorrow, distracted by these scars I see,
Calloused skin removed thought why - seize the day.

...Little Jimmy comes to my door, drops the paper and turns.
Mother calls, "Jimmy come inside." She helps him out, my anger burns.

Why does she love him when he hates me?
Why does she help after what he's done to me?
Another day, another lesson that's been drilled in me.
I fought for what I thought was right.
Right now, I can't see tomorrow, distracted by these scars I see,
Calloused skin removed thought why - seize the day.

Little Jimmy walks home alone, a little slower than before.
Confused and bruised, stumbles down the road. Heads to the gun cabinet and opens up the door...

Another day, another lesson that's been drilled in me.
I fought for what I thought was right.
Right now, I can't see tomorrow, distracted by these scars I see,
Calloused skin removed, thought why -

Another day, another lesson that's been drilled in me.
I fought for what I thought was right.
Right now, I can't see tomorrow, distracted by these scars I see,
Calloused skin removed thought why - seize the day.
