Unbroken

Lyrics

For a second I didn't recognize The face that grew from boy to man before my eyes The lines are hard, the beard is thick, and the scars might play a trick But the savage jaw clenched, baby chin, and flood of memories rushes in At the time our lives seemed like a daily rerun state Like nothing that we did could bring us to a better place We punched the clock, worked all day, and made jokes about low pay And watched some screens, and drank some drinks And set alarms and got some winks then ... On, keep pushing on, past complaints unspoken Hurt but unbroken On, keep pushing on, to the new day On, keep pushing on, like a wheel with a spoke bent Hurt but unbroken On, keep pushing on, to the new day I think back and second guess the choices I have made I wonder how I could've won the games we plated Had less guitars, a smaller place and a job with slower pace And home each weekend, playing catch and walking dogs a better dad Now I bet you're facing crises like the ones I had And you want to make the moves to end up better than your dad And I have some thoughts, want to help, but if I'm honest with myself It's up to you to make the calls, enjoy your wins, lear from your falls
