Good Advice
Wisdom from a grown-up 13 year old, Circa 2002
Don't walk too slow, don't run too fast
If you always wait your future will be your past
Don't waste your time searching for gold
All you'll ever need is in your soul
There's things in life which you just can't part
Listen to three words - Follow your heart
Find a mate and fall in love
If you find yourselves apart, you'll find eachother up above
Live a simple life and find ethics to abide
So on a day when you're lonely you'll be satisfied
Make good friends and find your true self
Listen to your conscience and nothing else
Be free as a bird, be grounded as a tree
Have nowhere else to go
Have places left to see
Be wise like your instincts
Listen to what they say
It will help you out on a bad sunny day
Make many mistakes, and learn from them all
So when you're on the edge you'll know how not to fall
Be kind to every man, one day you never know
If the toes you once stepped on decide if you stay or go
There are always answers to un-asked questions
Always take with you your life's lessons
Troubles will come, that much you should know
If there's anything you've learned, you know they always go
