You've got to Live(but not without your grandfather/longcase/tallcase clocks)  (May 2004)
You've got to live,you've got to die,
everything else is of your own choosing to reason why.
A life once shared,is empty when,
your fellow dreamer has gone,
thoughts just wander on.
When a boy is young he loves everyone,
but all too soon,he's taught the rules and learns to hate,
there's no time for debate.
You've got to live,you've got to die,
everything else is of your own choosing to reason why.
A life once shared,is empty when,
your fellow dreamer has gone,
and you're the lonely one.
When a girl is young she loves everyone,
but all too soon she's taught the rules and seggregates,
there's no time to wait.
You've got to live,you've got to die,
everything else is of your own choosing to reason why.
