Illus - Eyes of a Child Lyrics
[Illus]I sit and reflect, I know friendsBrothers from other mothers locked in the penSome deceased, rest in power and peaceSome addicted to the beast, weak crushed in defeatOthers teach and uplift with a gift of givingSome embrace living, winning with familyCarry on dreams through youth and childrenSome are content, some still reach for the starsI got family I ain't talked to in years and scars run deepTime slips and we regret time passedWhen we dig graves, cryin, remembering we used to laughThe legacy of grandparents and stories toldThinkin we never get old, now we got our own grandkids to holdMemories of uncles and auntiesHolidays and cousins, the bloodline of familySome we're proud of, others feel shameSome are taken by disease, others consumed by painThe connection of souls through blood and loveCommon bonds forever touchedI wonder where it begins and endsA giving tree of life, through the darkness and lightFriends become family, while blood can be an enemyLove can be a blessing and drives some to insanitySometimes it's just enough to smileAnd remember we're all connected through the eyes of a childI don't need THINGS, all I need is your loveFamily first, I'm yours forever, we're all onePeace
