They say we aint perfect

And it doesnt all make perfect sense

You always was in wonder

In an awe of others

That seemed to have it all

That perfect family

Just like Ozziette and Harriette that you used to watch on TV

Have you ever fell

Sure we all have

But you was always able to pick yourself up out of the clay

You may of not a a "perfect" father figure

In either your life or mine

But we had each other

A Mother and a son

That thought you hung the moon

Sometimes you cry yourself to sleep

And wonder is it  really worst it as it seems

You wonder if you will ever see heaven's gates

Or will you be burning in hell's flames

Will you walk on streets of Gold

Or will your feet burn on the burning coal

No matter where Life takes you God told me one thing

And to tell it to you

No matter what you have done in life

Or will do anytime in the near future

He has a placed saved just for you in a place called heaven

There is a mansion there waiting with your name on the door

Your mama your brother and you grandma wont be far behide

What took you so long will be their reply

You have spent your life living in Hell

God wont send you there for the rest of it

You didnt have the perfect childhood

In fact it would be safe to say you was probably one of the worst cases in Leitchfield

But throughout all of that you had your guardian angel to stay right there with you

And hold you together even though inside you was fallin apart

Who was that angel it was your precious mama

Then you grew up and got married

It was no where near the perfect marriage either

It sure had its ups and down

You was back in the same place once again

Dealing with a drunk something you tried to run away from

But you had a child and thought that would change

He grew up loving his mama

But his dad well that was another story

But throughout all the bad times all those times he saw you cry yourself to sleep

Or lock yourself up in the bathroom

He was there your second gauardian angel holding your hand

Who was that your son

And not only was he there for you but you was the only one you could reach him

The only one he would lisen to

When all he wanted to do was crawl up in a whole and die

So you see all 3 of you had a purpose in life

And that was to hold those 3 close

protect them and never let them go

That was your all's purpose in life

Cause no matter how bad things was on the surface

There was always us 3.
