Due to circumstances

It's about growing up

Due to Circumstances Beyond Our Control

 

Due to circumstances beyond our control

this boy can’t play today,

His capacity for childish grins and faces pulled,

For stories wild and jokes fast told,

Gone.

 

Due to circumstances beyond our control

this boy can’t sing today,

His whistled tunes and silly rhymes,

His simple verse of funny times,

Silenced.

 

Due to circumstances beyond our control

this boy can’t dream today,

No super jets in soaring skies,

or big fast cars and good guy spies,

Ended.

 

Due to circumstances beyond our control

this boy can’t be today,

He’s had to turn to bigger themes,

matters of importance not stupid schemes.

Responsibility.

 

Due to circumstances beyond our control

this boy as best he can must turn

and face that  in truth he is a man.
