It’s been a journey, the rides given thrills
There’ve been times where I was missin wheels
No emotion, no motions, the river’s still
Kept floatin’, still copin’, there’s a way if given will
I scampered, I tampered with evidence
Guess I tried changing the truth, in a sense
I haven’t done anything stupid in a minute since
The last time that I had to ask for forgiveness
I’ve lived so many years doing such dumb shit
Became associated with what you should not fuck with
Took a toll on who I was, though I had my fun
Memories forget but karma doesn’t
It’s the fact that I made it here to all of you
And it’s amazing that you could hear the call to you
You’ve responded to all of it, this is the positive
That I was told that I would find if I’d follow through

Every day I feel it getting better
Even when we feel it’s hard to love
There’s a tie that’s binding us together
It’s knotted so there’s no stoppin us
Any time we feel it might be crashing
You know we’ll be hoppin off that bus
Hitch a ride, going down a different path
And find a new place, we’re enough

Created 2, given 5
Surrounded by these people, is me livin life
All I used to do, just isn’t right
Now I see why all of that was criticized
You need someone to back you, I have that
Not to try and change you when you’re abstract
See through the differences and get passed that
So I can love every moment they get to sit on dad’s lap
We got a full house, I’ve played my cards right
Lost a bunch of hands but I’ve always had far sight
When the chips were runnin low I’d look to starlight
Make my wish and focus then I’d start my
Ascension to the place that I found
You cannot find yourself till it comes around
Me, a poetic father, I love all of my kids
With my queen right here, leading this CrawOtey crowd

Every day I feel it getting better
Even when we feel it’s hard to love
There’s a tie that’s binding us together
It’s knotted so there’s no stoppin us
Any time we feel it might be crashing
You know we’ll be hoppin off that bus
Hitch a ride, going down a different path
And find a new place, we’re enough

I guess you gotta learn that even when it’s perfect, it’s just not simple
You really gotta listen, you gotta pay attention, only way you’ll get through
Unconditional, heart positioning, open up the cage and let them play
Love ‘em like it’s the last time you’ll ever see their face, everyday

I’m grateful, I am actually very grateful
The missing puzzle pieces now fit and I’m thankful
Everybody gets angry, everybody seems crazy
But nowadays see my emotions move graceful
A beautiful ballet dancing ‘round the dinner table
Tiny little people make that face that seems painful
Insane teenagers sayin shit that be shameful
When I was their age I didn’t think of it as playful
Can’t help but love it, as nutty as it makes me
And you can’t predict direction, when it’s shaky
Had to get to the point where I was breaking
Apart and see a new way to piece it and create me
3 daughters, 2 sons roughly blended
May take time to see us all mended
But this is my letter to you all, that I’m sendin
Forever filled with love that’s never endin’

Every day I feel it getting better
Even when we feel it’s hard to love
There’s a tie that’s binding us together
It’s knotted so there’s no stoppin us
Any time we feel it might be crashing
You know we’ll be hoppin off that bus
Hitch a ride, going down a different path
And find a new place, we’re enough
