life
I didnt ask, not for lack of asking,
I didnt say, not for want of saying
If we didnt try, it was lack of trying,
At all sounds pretty made up
Excuse me if it sounds pretentious
But to me its just precious
We will all fade away,
So ill live just for today
Chorus
In everything we say, everything we do,
Id like to think it was for the good
But I cant shoulder the responsibility
For someones negativity x2
If life seems so far away
Then go out and have a little play
Cos we all are here,
So I try to shed a tear
Chorus x2
When I grew up, life was so clear,
And everything was so near,
But now what I can see
Is trying to blind me
I see the fields of green,
And children so keen
To become what they want, until they give in to other peoples taunts
So my final words to you,
Is of what you already knew,
So keep smiling through it all,
And go around walking tall.

Should read "It all sounds pretty made up."

Not sure about this. Try and scrap the away/today rhyme, it's pure *yawn*.

Not good at all, dear boy. Predictable, mundane rhymes (away/play, here/tear). Were I you, I'd just get rid of this entirely.

More good stuff. The finali is also very nice. This is good work; shame about the 'go out and have a little play' verse.
