Words/Music By Jason Reischel

I worked hard all my life and sometimes barely got through
You never think of the role you played- you only think about you
But you always get by- you laugh and you cry
You think of all of the ones you’ve loved and your last goodbye

But don’t you take it from me
Look to your neighbor and you will see

Hey there- why don’t you take my hand? 
I can’t stand the way I want to stand at all
I put up a fight but I lost tonight and I’m losing the war
But I don’t seek forgiveness when I fall

I was waiting for you and I knew you’d come through
Though you’ve not seen my face- this is you when you age
So be mindful that you take a lesson or two
From an old man who can’t see- a broken back and I’m weak

But don’t you turn out like me
Afraid and not making ends meet

Hey there- why don’t you take my hand? 
Cause I can’t stand the way I want to stand at all
Hey there- why don’t you take my hand? 
Cause I can’t stand the way I want to stand at all
I put up a fight but I lost tonight and I’m losing the war
But I don’t seek forgiveness when I fall
And I’m losing the war but I don’t seek forgiveness when I fall
