Once was a man who held his head up high, He was proud of his life 'til now, he walked humble yet tall His daughter always stood by his side his wife was no longer alive, and though It was hard they always got by Come on inside, to hear this short tale about life Many words when spoken are meant to inspire Maybe these ones will open your mind I hope these ones will open your eyes Hoping these ones will help Some say after his kids moved away, he grew tired Tired of all his time alone, day after day It was a cold night when his body was found- They all said he had starved or turned to the bottle for his heart Had run dry These are trying times, that can call a man to die Take a look at your old man right now And you know it makes him cry The days that you let pass by If only you had tried The days that you left…. In the end the truth is, we can't take the abuses And loneliness kills the best of us Yes loneliness kills the best of us Somehow it kills the rest of us
