CORNERS

CORNERS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2020

TIMES WERE GOOD

TIMES WERE BAD

BUT WE STOOD UP

AND TOOK IT ALL IN STRIDE

JUST ANOTHER PART OF LIFE

PART OF BEING A MAN

WE KNEW WHERE WE STOOD

WE KNOW WHERE WE STAND

WE WERE ALWAYS GOOD

AT SOMETHING

BUT THE HIGHEST PRIZE

GOES TO THE MAN

WHO KEEPS HIS WORD

THESE DAYS

IT SELDOM GOES

A SENTIMENT THAT MOST

HAVE NEVER HEARD

WE WORKED TOGETHER

WE WORKED ALONE

SOMETIMES WE GOT LOST

AND COULDN'T FIND

OUR WAY HOME

WE SWALLOWED OUR PRIDE

AND GOT RIGHT INSIDE

THE HEART

OF THE THING

WE WERE BOUND TO

KEEP ON TRYING

TIL WE GOT IT RIGHT

IF THERE WAS A HELPING HAND

IT CAME FROM A FRIEND

WE STOOD BY EACH OTHER

WHEN IT BECAME A NEED

WE LEFT FOR CORNERS

ON THE FOUR WINDS

THAT BLOW

WE LOOKED AT THE RIVER

SAT AND WATCHED IT FLOW

IF WE LEARNED ONE THING

ANYTHING AT ALL

IT WOULD BE

TO BE READY

WHEN YOU GET THE CALL

FREEDOMS FLEETING

YOU HAVE TO CATCH IT

ON THE RUN

RIDE IT ALL THE WAY

TO A NEW DAY

IN THE SUN

LIFE CAME AND WENT

LIKE A FLASH IN THE PAN

THEN IT CAME BACK AGAIN

TO MAKE SURE

 YOU UNDERSTAND

THE SECRETS REVEALED THEMSELVES

ONE BY ONE

UNTIL WE REALIZED

WHAT WE HAD DONE

WE STOOD THERE WIDE EYED

IN AWE OF WHAT WE MISSED

WROTE DOWN THIS SONG

AND IT GOES LIKE THIS

A NEW WORLD WAS WAITING

RIGHT THERE ON THE SHORE

IT OFFERED UP A NEW LIFE

THAT WASN'T NEW AT ALL

IT ALL GOES FULL CIRCLE

FOLLOWING THE SUN

YOU CAN STOP

BUT NOT FOR LONG

YOU HAVE TO RIDE THE STARLIGHT

INTO THE DAWN
