Pearls B4 The Swine

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
If I leave my front door openwould u come and visit me?Just 2 slander my name hopin'that I would pack my bags and leave...If I did would u remember2 feed the dove and clean the cage?And never count in front of the childrenlest they die of old ageI don't really know y we have 2 go r separate waysWhether or not we grow after the seeds r shownOnly time can say...Can I offer u baklava?or a bagel with cream cheese?Will we say grace 2 r fatherholding hands down on r knees?R we better off just fighting?U on ur side, me on mineR the words that I keep writing...only pearls b4 the swine?What makes men claim that u're a friendwhen u're not at all?They knock u down and then,they lift u up again, just 2 c u fall...But like a bird I'll keep on singing...a song that never leaves ur mindIf nothing else u've taught me one thing..."Never cast ur pearls b4 the swine"
