Life is not always fair. Sometimes the bad guy gets away.Justice is not always given. Sometimes the good guy has to pay.Lessons learned, I hope you heard exactly what I said, what I said.Keep your eyes and mind wide open. Look around up and down and above.Have compassion and keep your word. Most of all, son, learn to love.Learn to love. Learn to love. Learn to love. Learn to love.Life is not what it seems to be. Sometimes down the drain goes your dreams.Respect is hard to come by and even in. Sometimes failure's the biggest lesson learned.Lessons learned, sometimes they hurt. Do you hear what I say, what I say?Keep your eyes and mind wide open. Look around up and down and above.Have compassion and keep your word. Most of all, son, learn to love.Learn to love. Learn to love. Learn to love. Learn to love.Sometimes the poor guy just stays poor. And a rich man can lose it all in one day.A doctor for my rent came to my office. And women are mistreated every day, every way.It's strange, ain't it strange? Keep your eyes and mind wide open.Keep your eyes and mind wide open. Look around up and down and above.Have compassion and keep your word. Most of all, son, learn to love.Learn to love. Learn to love. Learn to love. Learn to love, son.
