Can't afford a lesson, well
I'll give you this for free
Doesn't cost to listen, pay
Attention and you'll see
The world spins to tear you
Down and waits for your defeat
Focus on the center and don't skip
A single beat
It's your turn, what have you learned?
Something's gotta give, I've heard
The cracking for some time
Staring with intent will get you
Sore eyes every time
Consider where you've been and where
You'll end up if you fail
Nothing's worse than losing
Words, your honor, or your way
Don't apologize to me
I won't criticize your words
Don't apologize to anyone for anything
Especially when it's what you mean
Consider this is a part of what
You really need
And yes, I do believe
That someday you'll be strong
This lesson's meant for me
The truth waits out there for me
And I feel I'm near
The truth waits out there for me,
But I'm still here
