Don’t Wish Your Life Away

Description

A song about good advice from a mentor. May we all have them! Lyrics: Verse 1 I knew an old man you could say he had a wisdom There was always peace in his walk When I was a child with a taste for blind ambition We’d sit on his front porch and talk About powerful cars and the power of money And the power that just cannot be bought And at the end of the day he’d send me on my way And the last thing that he’d say to me was Chorus: Don’t wish your life away Don’t wish your life away Take it as it comes and make yourself a someone Whatever you do Don’t wish your life away Don’t wish your life away Don’t throw miracles away Verse 2 One day I made him laugh when I said my time was wasted Working so hard just to get by He said all that you desire is so close that you can taste it And the only time you’re wasting is mine Put your faith in your dreams and not in your possessions And let your spirit learn how to fly Just in case you hadn’t noticed we’re not getting any younger so look me in the eye when I say (chorus) Bridge: I treasured our time like brothers of the spirit Till destiny took us apart We never said good-bye but I always will remember ‘Cause I took it to my heart when he said (chorus)
