I remember when life began, back on an outstretch of fears/
 All the people I’ve known met and loved through my twenty-odd years/
 The peers that put pressure; backstabbers and lesser types of human beings I was seeing/
 I never thought I’d get old one day/
 Or ever think that I would say, “Let the children play”/
 But when the innocence is over, time will surely tell/
 If love exists or the reality of living was just a spell/
 Swell were the days of adolescence/
 The time we spent together felt like only twenty seconds/
 But, I never knew how personalities changed/
 And learned that pain was just a way to know that things never stay the same/
 I guess it’s hard to except the way life goes
 I figure that’s why they say Philosophy Heals the Soul.

 Positive influences were difficult to receive/
 So I separate different folks for different needs/
 I wish I knew then What I know now/
 So I could separate which friends were true and which were foul/
 Too many people never knew me from the outside/
 What made them think that they could know me from the inside?/
 But there’s no doubt in my mind, that your mind is in time with mine/
 A diamond’s life is eternal, together we philosophize for the soul.

It’s life and pain.
 It’s love and abstraction.
 It’s beauty and hate.
 And vice-versa.

V3
 Minutes make memories, and you only live once/
 So you’d best to make your memories before the days and months do/
 I’ve made to many mistakes but were they worth the time it took to mend the effects in the end?/
 Now I take life slow, so that I don’t make the same mistakes…/
 Think careful and avoid the road of heartbreaks/
 Cause those were tribulating times/
 Rejected and neglected when I was wasn’t writing rhymes/
 Too many judgments have been passed down/
 From the days of straight A’s to when I was the class clown/
 My first love in the summer of fantasy/
 And seeing things that were too much for a man to see/
 Being this figure so unsure I was glad to be/
 But never let dark clouds ever badger me/
 It’s so uncanny how the world wants to pass me by/
 While I’m undermining all these things that make me wonder why/
 I want to reverse time ‘n go live in the past/
 And praying that this time just wouldn’t be like the last/
 I always ask myself the same questions…/
 Over and Over, I find myself guessin’/
 But, the puzzle seems to double when the answer’s no/
 I guess that’s why they say Philosophy Heals the Soul.
