More than a years gone by since I lost my mother
Since she left Ive thought well whats the point
Ive thought well I dont know what Im doing here
Whats the point if the meanings not clear?
But after crying, the clouds are clearing
My mothers teaching me to make a mark
You see she, she lived with pride and she, spoke her mind and
When she left, thats what she left behind
The point were missing
Its not what you had, its how you lived
The point were missing
Its who you were and what you did
Dont need no diamond rings
Dont need to live like kings
And I still dont know what were doing here
Try to make a mark and make my presence clear
To challenge right wing culture and move beyond
Live for life, its not too far gone
Exist or live, is time well spent?
And once you start thinking then youll know
Its and Iconoclast, has your moment passed?
Theres time to make it right
Youve got to try and to try cause theres just no giving in
Im on the outside, on the outside looking in
I saw the battle of a lifetime
And she tried, and we tried, and were never giving in
Because Ill see you on the bright side
Its how you live and its who you were
Its what you did…its a one way street
