Take a Look Around

There's a time in the spring when it's still cold but not as it was once was
And I go for a stroll and say hello to every new thing coming up
Older than me, cracks in the street, bark on the trees is glistenin' with sunshine
I can feel the heat on my skin
Can't believe I woke up again
But I believe it now
Just take a look around

There's a woman in bed, with nothing on and she's laying next to me
And when she wakes up I oughta be more like who she loved when we first met
Heaven and earth, they'd wait for her, diamonds and pearls, no, they don't mean anything
When she would place her hands on my skin
Calm the fear I held within
I'd be lost without her now
She had me take a look around

There's a kid in the yard, wild and free, not as young as he was once was
And I hope he grows into someone that he truly loves
Light in the heart, courageous and sharp, knows how to roll with the punches
I hope he knows when he's done wrong
I hope he feels me when I'm gone
Cause it won't be long now
So take a good look around
No, it won't be long now
So take a good look around
