Story Behind The Song
People nowadays seem to have a sense of entitlement..a lot of excuses or it's "good enough" to live life at a marginal level. As if everything should just work out "because"- without having to "work" for it.. We all need to persevere when it comes to personal development. Making the change to become better for ourselves...to become better for the world.
Song Description
This is about someone attempting to find their way through life, while trying to overcome personal struggles. It's about accepting what you've been handed in life and not doing anything about it. As if "I guess that's the way it's supposed to be"

Lyrics
Don't be late
A friendly word is all you say
about the world
You don't relate
with anyone you bare to stand
So this started this time
The wall parted and the flame died
The whole thing started-
that I am not denying
And the girls don't cry
and the gift won't buy you time
and the rest won't fall behind
all for you...
We all pretend about the worst
you don't expect
It would happen to us
So don't be lead
without a word you cast away
Now this time you've had enough
This time, well you've had enough of
the rest of it all comes down to you
Chorus
And it all started
And the whole thing started
When the girls don't cry
and the gift won't buy you time
if the guilt won't rob you blind
the rest won't won't fall behind....
