Only Time Will Tell

This one I wrote a while ago. I turned it into a song called "only time will tell". I wrote it when my Granpa had his stroke and finished it when he passed away....


As brave as the world we come from
we ride into the night...mmm...mmm..mm.mm
Those standing are recognized
but they missed they're god given right...mmm...mmm..mm.mm
You left home when you were ten
and they all said you'd be back again...woh...oh..oh...oh
But now that you proved them wrong
you became ten times as strong...woh....oh...oh...oh

I don't understand what you taught me
and I doubt I ever will
But I hope someday that only time will tell
And I don't understand what you taught me
and I doubt I ever will
But I hope someday that only time will tell

One day I just woke up
and everything had changed...mmm...mmm..mm.mm
The time now is lost
nothing will ever be the same....mmm...mmm..mm.mm
There is strenght in you
but the strength comes in tears....woh..oh..oh...oh
That look in your eyes
seems you aren't even here at all....woh...oh...oh...oh

I don't understand what you taught me
and I doubt I ever will
But I hope someday that only time will tell
And I don't understand what you taught me
and I doubt I ever will
But I hope someday that only time will tell
only time will tell
only time will tell
only time will tell

only time will tell...
Only with our eyes closed can we truly see

    only time will tell...

    I really feel this part...
    Irony of strenght and tears is cool
    The honesty of the lessons taught you is real... we don't know what we've been taught until the moment we need the lesson arrives, and so we live with out really understanding the lessons of our elders on an every day bases...
