Life's been a real good lesson On forgiving and forgetting Bout the things bringing me down Anger doesn't help It's only making noise I'm surrounded by people That are strong as any steeple They keep my spirit in check I'm hangin' on And lettin' go As much as I've rambled And as much as I have gambled I'm lucky to be here today I'm living proof Of highs and lows With the faith of the family And all of its insanity It keeps my heart in check I'm hangin' on And lettin' go Some days I fight to find That groove or that little roll Looking back at the years I never really had control With the older I'm getting I'm learning these lessons And discovering there's more to know About hangin' on And lettin' go Time is flowing like water And no matter how I bother There's no way of slowing it down These little eyes Already seem to know All this energy I'm spending Will no doubt soon be ending And they'll help see the ways Of hangin' on And lettin' go Some days I fight to find That groove or that little roll Looking back at the years I never really had control With the older I'm getting I'm learning these lessons And discovering there's more to know About hangin' on And lettin' go
