Brother Dave
Always seems to worry
Get a job
Find a girl and marry
I know times have changed
But things don't seem to make, any sense at all
There must be some way out of here
I can't stay locked inside my fear
I know it all looks easy now
I know you think, I should not fail
But there is a side, I don't reveal
There is a child
Beneath the shield
Is it real?
Is it an illusion?
That I could find
So simple a solution
I've tried hard to find, something in my life
That would see me through
Why can I not make up my mind
Is it I want too much from life?
I know it all looks easy now
I know you think, I should not fail
But there is a side, I don't reveal
There is a child
Beneath the shield
Michael G. talks to me for hours
He says to me
Stop and smell the flowers
The road of life is paved
With friends along the way
Who can see us through
I always seem to blame myself
Maybe I'm too hard on myself
I know it all looks easy now
I know you think, I should not fail
But there is a side, I don't reveal
There is a child
Beneath the shield
