*April 25, 1996. Originally posted on May 27, 2002.

Through the years life's been tough.
Broken dreams and homes are rough.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Sometimes it makes me feel so queasy.

Can't get down when life is hard--
must go on when things are marred.
No one said it was going to be easy--
sometimes it makes me feel uneasy.

Through the years much has changed,
so many brothers and sisters were named.
No one said it was going to be easy--
sometimes it makes me feel so dreamy.

Can't believe in all those changes--
lived in so many different places.
No one said that it was going to be easy--
sometimes it makes me feel so crazy.

Through the years so many friends.
How they treat you? It all depends.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Sometimes I feel melancholy.

I'll be glad when this year's over--
gone from this pitiful school forever.
No one said it was going to be easy--
through the years it's been uncanny.
