Thank God

Been through the school

Of hard knocks.

Lived it, and survived

Left with my head on my block.

 

How can one live in expectation,

Yet never once was it a reality.

Sure I've dodged bullets,

Who hasn't in war?

 

I have had scary moments,

When life hung in the balance.

But somehow survived,

And now can thank God, who was by my side.

Some were lucky like you and some never lived to tell about it.

That's why you need to share your experiences with us. So few are still living from that era to tell us what it was really like. People today don't know what hard knocks really are.
