Mother & Son

Don't die on me kid.
Life's precious, stake a bid.

Whatever you receive, never give in.
Life's good, just try and dig in.

She said it every now & then.
She said it all her life.

Don't save if it kills your mind.
Even in poverty, even if the world leaves you behind.
Spend like the rich, be kind to your mind.
Don't beg, borrow or steal, just keep trying.

Don't die on me kid.
Rock 'n' Roll, even if you skid.
Dream happy and it will all UN-LID.
Life's happy, try and break through the grid.

She said it every now & then.
She said it all her life.
She said it to me, always.
God knows, She never lied.
