Take a Lesson

Try to keep yourself from being led astray
Ignore the stupid things that people say
Back stabbing liars, how they deceive
They're not the cure, they are the disease

When you know you're right, follow your heart
Never let anyone rip it apart
Take what you got till you have not
On the spot it's you they forgot

Won't you, won't you, won't you take a lesson from me
Don't you, don't you, don't you turn your back on me

Never giving up is what they always say
They never had to work for a single day
Backseat driving on an easy street
The competition you must defeat
Vision that's clear, long career, look in the mirror

Won't you, won't you won't you take a lesson from me
Don't you, don't you, don't you turn your back on me
Take it from me

When I was young and I was starting out
Thought I knew what it was all about
Many roads that led to betrayal
The enemies that hoped I would fail
Left behind in a cloud of dust
Learn to love and hope to trust
I got it right, all in hindsight
I saw the light, the future is bright

Won't you, won't you, won't you take a lesson from me
Don't you, don't you, don't you turn your back on me
