When I was a little boy
I often saw him then~
Whenever I least expected it
He would just turn up ag'en~
A glimpsing sight a passing by
He knew when to come it's true~
Whenever I had a problem
This is just what he'd do~
That same shadow still around
The same one that I've come to know~
Only now after several experiences
I can recognize him it's so~
We all in my opinion have guides in life
In my case it seems there's more than one~
But only one does come to me
Has done so since I begun~
I know it's not important to see
A face , a body real~
As the one that one comes to know~
Becomes familiar and knows how I feel~
No I'm not fresh out of an institution
And I really do know my mind~
But you as well have guides I tell
Don't leave this thought behind~
They are always with you
And yes they'll always be~
And if they feel the need to
They'll let you know they're there like me~
Usually somebody that knew you
Before they went away~
A great grandparent or the likes
That's there for you every day~
So much is that we are not aware
That it's not for us to know~
And as those that are the ones by us in time
Will have us aware of as we go~
But we all have a guide in life
To try and be there for us along the way~
And give us vibes and guidance best they can
To hear us every time we pray~
As we they all have things to do
In their best interest and ours~
And we will know as further we go
And time and growth allows~
