They
say
the
world
is
a
classroom
But
some
lessons,
the
walls
don't
hold
Listen
close
Who
is
there
to
teach
you
how
to
be
a
man?
It’
s
not
found
in
textbooks,
not
part
of
the
plan
School
doors
open,
but
the
truth
stays
locked
away
Our
parents
struggle
just
to
make
it
through
the
day
How
can
they
impart
what
they’
ve
never
truly
known?
Watching
their
own
shadows,
feeling
all
alone
We’
re
left
in
the
silence,
trying
to
find
our
stride
With
nowhere
to
run
and
nowhere
to
hide
Your
ideal
husband
is
here
waiting
Emotion
controller,
responsibility
taker
Proper
love
maker,
honorably
accepted
Is
here
longing
for
your
heart,
connected
Through
the
storm
and
the
rising
tide
With
you
by
my
side,
I’
ve
got
nothing
to
hide
A
boy
turns
to
a
man
in
the
quiet
of
the
night
Trying
to
establish
a
home,
trying
to
get
it
right
So
many
chapters
that
we’
re
forced
to
read
alone
Building
up
a
future
from
the
dust
and
from
the
stone
Holding
a
woman
is
the
most
complex
institution
Searching
for
the
peace,
searching
for
the
true
solution
It’
s
a
heavy
weight,
a
path
that’
s
paved
with
gray
Learning
how
to
love
in
a
complicated
way
Your
ideal
husband
is
here
waiting
Emotion
controller,
responsibility
taker
Proper
love
maker,
honorably
accepted
Is
here
longing
for
your
heart,
connected
Through
the
storm
and
the
rising
tide
With
you
by
my
side,
I’
ve
got
nothing
to
hide
With
a
first
degree,
or
a
PhD
on
the
wall
It
doesn’
t
stop
the
winter,
doesn’
t
stop
the
fall
Troubles
after
troubles,
frustration
in
the
air
Trying
to
be
perfect
when
life
is
rarely
fair
Can
a
degree
heal
a
heart
that’
s
feeling
torn?
Or
provide
the
shelter
when
the
weary
soul
is
worn?
We
strive
for
the
standard,
we
chase
the
empty
light
But
a
home
isn't
built
on
what’
s
written
in
black
and
white
It’
s
built
in
the
patience,
in
the
way
we
share
the
load
Walking
side
by
side
down
this
long
and
winding
road
I’
m
learning
as
I
go,
I’
m
growing
through
the
pain
Trying
to
be
the
sunshine
after
all
the
pouring
rain
Your
ideal
husband
is
here
waiting
Emotion
controller,
responsibility
taker
Proper
love
maker,
honorably
accepted
Is
here
longing
for
your
heart,
connected
Through
the
storm
and
the
rising
tide
With
you
by
my
side,
I’
ve
got
nothing
to
hide
Just
here
waiting
Learning
the
lesson
In
the
silence
of
your
love (
Piano
fades
out
slowly)
Waiting
for
you
Only
for
you
