The Part You Play

I wrote this for someone very close to me to show how much of an impact they have had on my life.

I’m like a bowling ball speeding down the fast lane

So many different ways to turn

There’s nothing I know how to do better

And I just haven’t realized how much I need to learn

So I keep rollin, rollin

 I just keep rollin

 

I never saw you

You just came out of no where

You’re my bumpers saving me from the gutter

I try to go my own way

But you save me in the long run

I don’t know how you do it

But I know you get it done

 

You are the one who keeps me from getting down

You pick me up when I’ve fallen on the ground

You go the extra mile just for me

Now, I’m starting to get the hang of things

You think of others before you ever think of yourself

 You boost me up when ever I’m feeling a sense of doubt

 Your love and intentions are the window into your soul and heart

 Showing everyone that in my life you play a great part

 

You’re like an umbrella shielding me from the storming clouds

With a pitter patter of the falling rain,

I huddle under your protective canopy

You teach me right from wrong

Making me grow strong

As I keep walking, walking

I just keep walking

           

Now I see you

And you’re always here

You keep me dry when the world is wet

 I realize life’s better when you’re protecting me

 Never making me worry

Never making me fret

 

One day just like a bowling ball I’ll learn to make my path straight

One day just like an umbrella you’ll know the sky will become clear

Until that day I’m perfectly happy knowing you’re by my side

Wiping away any unexpected tears

 

 

You are the one who keeps me from getting down

You pick me up when I’ve fallen on the ground

You go the extra mile just for me

Now, I’m starting to get the hang of things

You think of others before you ever think of yourself

 You boost me up when ever I’m feeling a sense of doubt

 Your love and intentions are the window into your soul and heart

 Showing everyone that in my life you play a great part
