Always been somewhat of a loner
Since the day I first left home~
Doing what I could with what I had
To work with all alone~
I learned best I could as I traveled
As I went upon my way~
Studied one thing after another
Not one to waste too much time in play~
Worked hard all of my life
As one needs to do just that~
Trying to be half the man my father was
As I traveled down life's track~
I found in life among all the good and strife
That most I met along the way~
Were all mostly good souls regardless
Most I met each and every day~
All trying to just make ends meet
And do the best they could~
And if I could help some soul along the road
I always did and knew I always would~
I had a complex against complications
Simplicity was my way~
It doesn't take a jeweler all day it's true
To know the value of a diamond I always say~
But if one has a left hand
And a right one too~
And if they can tell the difference
They can tell right from wrong it's true~
No big deal in life it's true
Little children know the way~
Only complicated for their own reasons
Grown ups often throw simplicity away~
Have not got time this time for mind games
And the thinking of the entire earth~
I look around and see what so many are doing
To this planet of such worth~
And silently I go about my day
As he said they know not what they do~
For nothing is ever going to change them
Not in their entire lives it's true~
So many have all the answers
To questions they don't even know~
But I just remain myself always
As through this life I go~
