It Would Be So Easy

September 12th, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson
  • It would be so easy to say,
  • “I don’t care if you leave it there.
  • It doesn’t matter if it should lay
  • In the way for one more day.”
  • But later on, it’s you, my child
  • Who would have the higher price to pay.
  • It would be so easy to say,
  • “I don’t care if you swear.
  • You hear it, these days, everywhere.
  • A word’s just a word anyway.”
  • But later on, it’s you, my child
  • Who would have the higher price to pay.
  • It would be so easy to say,
  • “I don’t care if you steal.
  • Everyone does it; I know how you feel.
  • Rules were made to be broken, not to obey.”
  • But later on, it’s you, my child
  • Who would have the higher price to pay.
  • It would be so easy to say,
  • “I don’t care what you do.
  • It’s your life, it’s up to you!”
  • But you might be a parent someday
  • And later on, it’s you, my child
  • Who would have the higher price to pay.
