Take a Little

Words and Music by Rob Graham

Sitting here by the edge of the pool

Watching my kids play away

Trying to put them twenty years on

School is done and they've left home 

All the lessons they learn

I hope they took their turn

Listened to what was said

Taking out the good from bad

Good from bad

And take a little of what we said, oh baby

Hate to watch the news today

Nothing good seems anyway

So much unrest

Did we build a strong enough nest?

We watch them run, and we watch them fall

Making mistakes is all

A helping hand, a new pair of shoes

Chocolate ice cream will soothe the blues

Soothe the blues

{Chorus}

I don't want to turn the clocks back

Their future is coming fast

Can't keep up and I can't change

These things will come around anyway

All the lessons they learned

Hope its happiness that they earned

Find a point to each and every day

Would mean the World to me

The World to me

{Chorus}
