Lessons in Motion

Yeah

Life's lessons

I learned some things the long way

Mama said the stove was hot,

I still had to touch it Spent my last on looking rich,

then walked home with nothing Friends turned quiet when the rent came

due Found out love got receipts,

and truth costs too I kept a smile when the phone stopped

ringing Made peace with nights that had my whole heart sinking Now

every scar got a name I remember Every loss left a coal

in the ember I

fell down, got up slower Kept my pride,

lost my fear

If pain came to teach me I can finally hear

Life's lessons, they don't come cheap

They cut you close,

then let you breathe

I lost some roads,

I found my feet

Life's lessons made a man of me

Oh, made a man of me

I gave time to people who would never spend theirs Built a

home in promises, slept on thin air Used to blame the rain

for the roof I ignored Now I fix what I can and

I pray for more

Had to lose my way to know my direction Had to face

my pride to find protection If the mirror talks back,

I let it finish

Growth ain't loud, it moves in minutes

Life's lessons, they don't come cheap

They cut you close,

then let you breathe

I lost some roads,

I found my feet

Life's lessons made a man of me

Oh, made a man of me

I don't hate the hard days now They showed me what I

carry If I could talk to younger me I'd say hold on,

get ready

The seed breaks first,

then rises

Life's lessons, they don't come cheap

They cut you close,

then let you breathe

I lost some roads,

I found my feet

Life's lessons made a man of me Life's lessons,

I wear them clean They

gave me

truth, they gave me peace
