Train of Consequences

I don't remember
what was the real sequence
It seems like yesterday
I got on board the train
of consequences
A packed suitcase
of all I had learned
A lot given,
very little earned
It seems like yesterday
I was told by a holy man
"To take a leap of faith
To have no fear
To not waste any time
'Cause the end is near
To not give in to all
that I crave
Cause I'll be a step closer
to the grave"
I struggled with that thought
And went on my own way
It seems like yesterday
But I still live my life, my way
