Wandering streets, book in hand, businessman teaches,
Philosophy's code, discipline leeches,
Psych talk, mind walk, deep as preachers,
Same patterns stick, can't fix the features.
Bad habit’s broken, ain't no fixin’,
Yes? No? Daughter's mixin’,
Oh, my lovely child, keep on wishin’,
"Try harder, Dad, dreams still glisten."
Late night, mind fight, heavy baggage,
Old habits wild, like a savage,
Eyes on the prize but stuck in traffic,
Pain in the pattern, old classic magic.
Bad habit’s broken, ain't no fixin’,
Yes? No? Daughter's mixin’,
Oh, my lovely child, keep on wishin’,
"Try harder, Dad, dreams still glisten."
Eyes on the sky, feet on the ground,
Mind keeps spinning, world goin’ 'round,
"Dad’s trying harder but feels so bound."
Lovely child’s voice, most cherished sound.
Books and talks, lessons learned,
Heartache grows, passion burns,
Crossroads come, tables turned,
Fix the broken, dreams confirmed.
Late night, mind fight, heavy baggage,
Old habits wild, like a savage,
Eyes on the prize but stuck in traffic,
Pain in the pattern, old classic magic.
Bad habit’s broken, ain't no fixin’,
Yes? No? Daughter's mixin’,
Oh, my lovely child, keep on wishin’,
"Try harder, Dad, dreams still glisten."
