Black Sheep

He was a wreckless dumb boy

But that made him a cautious, wise man.

He didn't grow up till he hit 25 but when he did,

He'd done more than most men can.

It was two years too late.

And that's better than never,

But that's still two years that he will miss forever.

Time slips by faster than it feels.

It takes twice as long as you've waited for you to heal.

Maybe someday it'll all be forgiven,

But right now he'll just keep living.

Been the black sheep all his life.

His family and friends might as well be blind.

When they finally started to come around,

They were surprised at what they found.

But it was two years too late

And that's better than never.

But that's still two years that they will miss forever.

Time slips by faster than it feels.

It takes twice as long as you've waited for you to heal.

Maybe someday it'll all be forgiven,

But right now,

Right now he'll just keep living.

Right now, yes!

Right now, I'll just keep on living.
