I made a list of things that a lot to me
and put em' on my pillow for the morning after,
mother don't you cry, yeas I know you tried
so just remember all the love and laughter we found,
the voices carry through my mind
and they'er tellin me it's time, so long, so long, so long

This decision has been given
despite the rights that we have wronged,
embrace the moments or we'll miss them,
that's the warning for this morning son

shadow of a man is staring back at me,
and said son you're headed for a huge disaster,
no need to learn the [bad word] if you're gonna burn the proof
and no bandage heals the damage to my character,
the voices carry through my mind
and they'er tellin me it's time to hold on, hold on, hold on

This decision has been given
despite the rights that we have wronged,
embrace the moments or we'll miss them,
that's the warning for this morning son

This decision has been given
despite the rights that we have wronged,
embrace the moments or we'll miss them,
that's the warning for this morning

and that's the warning for this morning son
