Only Time Will Tell

When things are at an end,

and you know that they are over,

Do you listen to a friend,

thought they hate the one you love.

When pushing comes to shoving,

and you're stuck on the wrong side,

Do you stand up for what you believe in,

or sit down so you won't fight?

Cause at the end of the day,

these things are more than just questions.

They turn over stones in your life,

to reveal the good and bad.

But only time will tell you,

what these lessons soon will teach you.

Cause each map will lead you somewhere,

and each step leads you closer still.

When you were still so little,

and your daddy sung you to sleep,

Did you dream about his singing,

or did you dream the stories he told?

When finally you were older,

and you loved your first boyfriend,

Did your heart ever mend,

when you lost him to the wind?

Cause at the end of the day,

my face is stained with tears I cry,

These stones are getting colder,

predicting only what i've lost.

So when will time ever tell you--

these lessons have gone up in flames.

Cause theres enough damage now,

to ruin childrens dreams of love.

So please tell me when time will tell,

cause its all over anyways.

When you wake up from reading stories,

what will time tell you?
