lyrics

I was sitting by the river
trying to pull myself together again.
When an old man walking by
sat right beside me and ask
what's going on my friend?

I am getting tired of listening to everyone.
I have learned the rules and still feel like
my whole life is falling apart.

If you follow what they say
believe everything you see
you'll find out how tough
life could be.

If instead you walk away
and don't care what they believe
then your mind will be set free.

I said who are you?
where you come from?
Cause nobody ever said that to me.

He said, I'm an old man
who has been around the block
two times maybe three.

When you're here long enough
you'll know what I'm talking about.
If instead you listen to everyone else
remember three strikes you're out.

Now you listen up
I'll say it once again.
You will be surprised
who you call true friends.

Some may fake a smile
and will shake your hand
but if all comes down
all alone you stand.

If you trust yourself
you'll know what to do.
That's how you can tell
what's a lie or truth.

So don't follow rules
and just move ahead
cause remember what he said.
